Hamptons Wine - Six Corners Westhampton Beach NY

Commanderie de Peyrassol, Coteaux de Provence, rosé, 2005

Pale and luminous pink hues highlight the wine in the glass. On the nose soft floral aromas of roses and carnations can be detected. The wine is firm on the palate with a mixture of crushed ripe fruits; peaches, raspberries and strawberries giving way to tender and subtle mineral fruit flavors. A terrific match with Provencal dishes, bouillabaisse and grilled, broiled or barbecued meats and fishes.

 Jake “found” this in the back room. The compexity of flavors was astounding. Sweetness was balanced with spicy fruity fullness and a fantasic finish and aftertaste.

From About.com: Riesling wines originated in Germany’s Rhein and Mosel river valleys, it was here that this white grape gained its tenacious foothold in today’s modern white wine market. A riesling can span a broad range of styles, being produced in both dry and sweet variations.True Riesling wines have two dominant aliases, Johannisberg Riesling and White Riesling both of which refer to the authentic Riesling made from the Riesling grape. Other wines that have “Riesling” on the label, i.e. Grey Riesling, are entirely different wines. When looking for a dry style of Riesling, the label’s buzz words for dry will be dry or trocken (“ dry” in German). If a sweeter Riesling is on your list, then you will be looking for Auslese on the bottle’s label. 

Here we will be talking about wine.
