Hello! It’s been a long time! This summer has been flying by, and I hope you’ve all been keeping safe and well!

The other day, I found a lovely surprise in my fridge – a bottle of Henry de Floret Côtes du Rhône Rosé! It always feels like summer in my glass. The shimmery, salmon-pink color + the flavors of strawberry, golden plum, dried apricot and black currant bring to mind visions of warm sunsets of pink and golden light through a gentle haze.

Côtes du Rhônes wines of all types must adhere to the regulations of Apellation d’Origine Contrôllée (AOC) which ensures a uniformity of flavor and style within this growing region.

Rosé from this region boasts the classic GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre) blend with primary grape being Grenache. It can also include Carignan, Cinsault as well as white varietals Voignier and Rousanne. This gives a wonderful depth of flavor and aromas. Feel free to pair with some delicate cheeses, savory nuts and mild paté or experiment with whatever you have on hand!

This wine was the perfect pairing with a delicate breeze + some jazzy summer beats. 🎶

Wondering how this bottle found its way into my fridge? Sweet HubbyDoug. 💗

We may have to keep our distance, and not go out as much as we might like right now. But it may be the simpler pleasures, and sweet surprises we’re meant to enjoy.

Take good care of yourselves, enjoy the sunshine, and some good wine, whenever you can! 🌞

Cheers!🍷
