Rose Tasting At Delius

Wednesday, August 26, 2015

This turned out to be a really nice tasting for summertime. Rose's are refreshing and light. When I do these commuter tastings I normally leave about 7:00 but tonight I was having such a good time with good conversation it was 9:30 before we left the restaurant.

6 wines were poured and a multitude of appetizers were passed around. 4 appetizers came out within 20 minutes then there was a big lull before they showed up again. Seemed the kitchen got really busy and they were having a hard time taking care of everything. When they started passing the goodies again most of the people had left. But the food did not go to waste. We really chowed down. Event was over at 8:00. Dave, the owner sat down with us and we finished off the leftover open bottles.

Two of the Rose's I have in my cellar. The 2014 Liquid Farms and the 2014 Tercero Mouvedre Rose. They will be gone by the end of the summer. Bought a case of the Tercero but it is really good.

Other Rose's poured tonight were 2014 Y.Rousseau Rose of Tannat, 2014 Domaine St. Antoine, 2014 Broc Bellars "Love"  and 2014 Ledge Vineyards "Los Topos". There was something for everyone in this combination.
