The First Rose' of Spring



Opened the first rose' of spring this past weekend because the weather demanded it. The beautiful sunshine and dreamy breeze would not take no for an answer. So we opened a beautiful rose' from Anjou in the Loire region of France. Being from this particular portion of France, this wine is 100% cabernet franc and as light on its feet as a Dancing with the Stars winner. The color was visually stunning, the flavors were soft, playful and screamed for semi-reclined eating of the finest meats and cheeses available while basking in the glow of the spring sun.

Things to do while enjoying a bottle of rose' on a spring afternoon...

Change out your spark plugs... real men and/or women only.


Prune actual rose bushes.

Test drive a new hammock. The use of a straw here is suggested.

Feel the world spin under you while you lay in the grass.

Have lunch at the Wine Kitchen with someone you have been meaning to have lunch with since you saw them over the holidays and promised t0 get together more.
