Grapefruit pith. I can finally use that as a wine descriptor as this yummy Rose from Whispering Angel of Provence has plenty of it in the mid-palate. And a long finish of Jolly Rancher watermelon candy. A pleasure to drink and a nice pairing with my Mortadella olive sandwich. Thank you Provence! $14.99 at my local market.

Brixchicks started yesterday with international Rose for but today we will be switching to national Rose so stay tuned. The Clos Cibonne from Provence was a standout and is the competition to California rose we will be gulping today. Good luck CA.!!!

I’m impressed with this single-vineyard Pedroncelli Zinfandel, which is new to me, as well as the winery’s latest vintage of their classic “Mother Clone” Zinfandel. It’s well-nigh as big, bombastic an
