danapickell reviewed Domaine Massamier La Mignarde Cuvée de Oliviers Coteaux de Peyriac VDP Rosé 2006 on July 28, 2007 Roasting strawberry leaps out of the glass in this classic Minervois rose. While the nose may seem a bit rich at first, what you taste is light and refreshing with a combination of strawberries, raspberries, and an interesting twist of tart apple to round out the fruits. A nice pairing for roasted chicken, or even burgers. |

danapickell reviewed Domaine de Montmarin Les Olivieres Côtes de Thongue Rosé 2006 on July 28, 2007 One of the very best values in a southern French rose, the Le Olivieres has a fantastic balance of zippy acid, bright red cherry on the palate, and a pleasing bit of spice on the nose. Great with fish off the barbie or grilled stuffed eggplant. |

danapickell reviewed Didier Dagueneau Blanc Fumé de Pouilly 2004 on September 7, 2006 An absolutely beautiful sauvignon blanc with a bright, enticing nose and immediate aromas of slate and salty sea air. The palate follows through with a punch of minerality, along with flavors of tart Granny Smith apple, lemon zest and a balanced grip of acidity. This a wine not to be missed. |
