It's true. I'm a bad wine blogger. Actually, I'm an okay blogger but I'm bad at finding the time to blog. I work for a startup, and sometimes I can't be home by 4pm PST for TasteLive. So, since the lovely Robert Oatley folks sent me samples, and I am a bad TasteLive-er, blog posts it is.
Where to start? Rose` of Sangiovese from Mudgee, Australia. I was excited. And as I looked at the wine in my glass, the usual 'pink lip gloss' color was nowhere to be found. Instead, it was a perfect peachy-pink, like where the pink and yellow merged on my mom's Peace roses when I was growing up (rose` and rose... look at that).
Tasting time. It's a crisp wine, and is quite dry (which I like). But nothing spectacular. I'm trying not to use those awful wine writer buzzwords but... it's a wine made for easy, summertime quaffing. Not much more. Lovely but uncomplicated.
The verdict: Read me. I'm not saying not to drink this one, I'm just saying that everyone makes a perfectly acceptable dry rose` these days and, if you're going to have one, why not go for one with a lower carbon footprint? (Of course, if you're reading this in Oz, disregard that statement!)

I have to admit to you that I still have this wine in my fridge and have not cracked it open yet... I'll get to it... eventually.
