Wine By Nine

Ros? Wine by Bonny Doon from California. We continue down the primrose path of insinuating a substantial dollop of white wine -principally Grenache Blanc - into our typical blend of red varieties. Though not a technique practiced widely in Vin Gris' spiritual homeland of Provence, we find the addition of rich white wine adds some incremental gravity and seriousness without jeopardizing the final blend's personal and electrochemical vivacity - a quality critical in the perfect aperitif, or if one wishes to wash down a Salade Ni?oise under the hot sun of St. Tropez.
