It can be said with great truth that I'm not a fan of non-red wines. I'm kind of a snob about it, not because I really like snobbery, but because I want to taste the dirt my wine was grown in--I don't want to drink my wine so much as to chew it. I can tolerate a nice fume-blanc, and even sometimes a chardonnay so long as it's from Frogland (CA growers vastly over-oak their whites!). And everyone knows how the lemur likes his tawny ports (I've three bottles (of differing brands) in the closet, and just killed a different brand this week).
BUT, I have to give due respect to a rose' of all things! Seriously!
No, really! I mean it!
If you're into cool-aid wine like pinot-noir or anything by Gallo, you'll love the wonderfully and punfully named 'Goats do Roam' from South Africa. (N.B. 'Goats do Roam' is a pun on 'Cotes du Rhone'.)
Even I like it!
PS. Maddie says the Goats rock the house. I'll go one further and say:
The Goat's in the House, yo!

Gotta check it out; love the pun...
On another note, stumbled into a good chewy red down here in TX; try a search for Sister Creek Winery...they make wine in the Bordeaux/Burgundy style...yum. Their cuvee is actually very, very surprisingly good (mix of Cab Sauvignon, Pinot and Merlot grapes: almost no tannic taste, lots of fruit but not sweet.
Is this Anna or Russ?
It's Anna; I taste but don't drink.
