An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!

2004 Vieux Clocher Cotes de Ventoux Rose (Rhone, France)
A refreshing rose that would be great during a mid-summer heat wave.  Pale salmon-pink color.  Youthful and contradictory nose of tropical fruit, creamed tomato skins, and sharp minerals.  Light-bodied, soft, fresh flavors of bone-dry watermelon extract.  86.  Was $6.99 at Spec's on Holcombe.
