Tonight we’re doing something a little different and letting a chef be our expert. Jose Gutierrez, chef/owner of Encore Restaurant and Bar and his wife, Colleen DePete, are going to guide us through a bottle of Sauvion Rose d’Anjou 2007. I had a bottle of the 2006 a few weeks ago and was smitten. I hear the 2007 is even better.
You can find a Jose’s suggested recipe in a previous post, though it’s probably too late to make it if you haven’t already. It’s been a busy week for me and I haven’t, so we’ll be doing something very simple. See you back here at 7!

We thought the nose had a little citrus
It would go with spicy food, since it is a little sweet
I prefer a Rose that is dry

The grape is called Grolleau - is a red wine grape primarily grown in the Loire Valley, it is most commonly made into rose wine, The rape ten to be low in alcohol and have high acidity

The Rose sales in France have surpassed the sales of white wine
In Provence, the Roses tend to have more acidity and less sugar content

It is our pleasure, we hope to see you at Encore soon - next time we will be sure to be live, Jen is having to copy our comments

The shipping containers have been improved, temperature control is important - they are fragile wines

We are drinking the 2007 - we had it a spicy chicken and angel hair pasta

We can do a tasting at the restaurant, and pair the food with different Roses - from different regions

Thank you for inviting us and including us this evening, Jose says he misses the human contact - we are first timers at this - we could have tasted the 06 too if we were all together!

Jose just said he would love to finish this bottle with some crepes, with homemade strawberry marmalade

We are at home, so we had no distractions, at least we don’t have to drive - good point! We will try to tune in next week-hope to see everyone at Encore!

Since there are so few posts to this blog, why does it continue to exist? Late posts to a wine tasting actually do not count in my book.
