Spring is in full bloom and summer is starting to whisper in our ears; it’s time to uncork the rosé. My new favorite find is this Birichino Vin Gris 2011. This rosé is light, fruity and not too complicated– don’t we all need a little of that in our life?
It’s a perfect “picnic wine,” a highly scientific term we use at our house for drinkable, delicious wine that pairs well with a variety of food. The Birichino Vin Gris tastes similar to the French rosés and would work nicely served at brunch, lunch or even with Chinese take out.
It’s a quaffer, it’s 15 bucks and it’s from California — bonus for the local-voires out there. It’s made from amazing 100 + year-old vines in the Sierra Foothills — see it’s more than just hiking, sailing and water-skiing!
Even though I was brought up in the school of not judging a book by its cover — this cover is a beauty. I’d like a copy of the label in a frame. I’m buying a case for my Mom for Mother’s Day, and I know my dad will love it, too.
Woodland Hills Wine Shop carries Birichino Vin Gris 2011.
Hi Valerie thanks very much for your kind words and appreciation of our rosé. I’d be pleased to mail you a 2011 Vin Gris label if you like- what’s your address? Kind regards, Alex krause
Alex, thank you! Can’t wait to frame it.
