Monthly WTF guys blind tasting group. This month was our annual, and famed, Left Bank vs Right Bank theme. All wines served blind as usual. Started off with a Rosé and a champagne. Great night.

This is consistently a top rosé for me. This vintage seems to show more melon and cantaloupe vs previous vintages having kiwi, watermelon rind and stone fruits. Round and soft in style. Always delicious. Thanks

When you’re in the Midwest at -20F we’re drinking rose’ on the deck in So. Cal.....experiencing all 4 seasons is overrated.

So good according to the tennis 🎾 girls - I had a day trip and of course flight delayed so what did they do?

Start without me and drink like fishes as you will see shortly - I got lick the empty bottle do the scores are strictly the ladies scores

I might add they picked some good ones to devour

They were 😄Ing

As has been said before, this may be best rosé coming out of California. Structured, balanced, and not a run off or after thought rosé - this was crafted to be a great wine.

Very nice, well made Rosé. Nice fruit, florals and shuttle chalky minerality. It’s only fault, just a tad too sweet for my taste. First course at Hedy’s Plate & Bottle dinner. Caramelized Carrot Soup, Hazelnut Tarragon. Excellent yummy preparation. @PlateAndBottle
