A Rose Wine from Souther France

     First off I would like to apologize for it taking so long to get this blog up.  I wrote the whole thing and then the Internet froze and I lost it all.  I was a bit frustrated and waited a day before rewriting it.  Here it is, hopefully as good as it was the first time I wrote it.
     I find Rose (blush) wines are great for the summer.  Rose wine has the richness and depth of a red wine, while also having the lightness of a white wine.  The biggest problem with rose wine is when people of rose wine they think sweet, or white zinfandel.  I have no facts on how many rose wines are sweet ( I don't think there are any facts about that) but I would guess about only half of the rose wines are sweet.
     I had a rose from southern France made by Moulin de Gassac.  The wine is 55% Syrah and 45% Grenache.  I really enjoy the earthiness of grenache,  I have had a rose grenache wine before.  It was really good, it wasn't sweet, it was everything a great grenache should be, but lighter.
     The Guilhem Rose (2009) is a delicate wine.  It taste like strawberry, not jolly rancher strawberry, but the smell of a fresh cut non-juicy strawberry. 
     I would highly recommend this wine. It is a great wine to have on a warm summer day, while sitting outside.  I bought the Moulin De Gassac Guilhem Rose 2009, a while ago.  Currently the 2010 is probably what is available.  I have not tried the 2010 vintage but from what I have read it is just as good.  The last wonderful thing about this wine is it under $10!
    Enjoy the summer and a great rose wine.
