Feb-Mar 2001
Peju Province 87, North Coast Karma, Rosé
A blend of two years and four grapes, Karma is an excellent dry-style rosé. Strawberry and raspberry flavors, silky smooth, enough residual sugar to boost the fruit (but not so much as to give it a sweet impression), and crisp acidity. Great picnic fare, or with turkey and all the stuffings.

95 Taltarni, Brut Tache
A rosé sparkler to spark your passion creamy, complex, minerally, with light peach and melon fruit. Extraordinary finish of fruit, yeast and spice that lingers for minutes.
87 Forest Glen Winery 1999, California Forest Fire, White Merlot
A rose by any other name is still a rose, and this so called "White" Merlot is a delightful rosé, off-dry with good balancing acidity and full of ripe watermelon-berry fruit. It would pair well with chicken, pasta, soups and fish.
