The roses that come from Provence are typically considered to be the best in the world, with second place (whoever it may be) far behind. Provencal roses tend to be dry and mineral driven, not sweet. I&#39;ve recently had some very good roses: http://tinyurl.com/ntlrozTallahassee Wine Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14278535630473816703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20515240.post-42008234482625609422009-06-29T18:41:32.809-07:002009-06-29T18:41:32.809-07:00Rose is my favorite type of summer wine. I just discovered a new one from Travessia Urban Winery that I love. It is a local MA wine which makes it even nicer!traveleatlovehttp://traveleatlove.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20515240.post-68338648316394420292009-06-26T17:47:10.702-07:002009-06-26T17:47:10.702-07:00Yes, White Zinfandel has gave rose a bad name and most people think that rose is sweet, when in reality it&#39;s mostly vinified as dry wine.

Until this past week, I thought all Rose&#39; wine was sweet. On a recent wine tour I discovered the fact that I, for many, many years have been wrong.<br />My summer wines were always &#39;dry&#39; Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Now it is definitely Rose&#39; (dry Rose&#39;)joeshicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948637522566119483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20515240.post-1379222292487025422009-06-25T19:14:32.309-07:002009-06-25T19:14:32.309-07:00They actually are amazing with food. Some of the most versatile wines out there. If you are in to wine and cheese pairing roses and Riesling are some of the best wines to use. Thanks for the comment Dr. Bruce!
