Y’all probably know by now that I’m a fan of rosé. Anytime, anywhere, with any food. It’s one of the most satisfying wines around. But I’m kind of picky when it comes to rosé. It’s gotta have energy. It’s gotta have lift. It’s gotta have ACIDITY. While I might catch some flak for this, I’m just gonna say it. There is no surer bet in the world of pink wine than Corsican rosé. I’ve never met one I didn’t like. Hell, I’ve never met one where I didn’t immediately want a second bottle. So whenever it crosses my path, I grab it. By the glass, by the bottle, by the case. This little beauty (from the Isle of Beauty, no less) was made by Eric Poli, and comes from organically farmed (uncertified) vines on the east side of the island near Eric’s hometown. Made from Sciaccarellu, an indigenous red to the island that makes just stunningly bright rosés. Citrus skin, strawberry, dried flowers and grapefruit are layered over wet stone minerality that is just gorgeous. — 4 years ago

A solid grappa, a step up from Poli, but nothing to blow you away. — 6 years ago

Just a lovely easy drinking wine from Ile de Beaute, France. Very unique... and delicate. Light to medium bodied. Fruit is present but not overpowering.... but not dry. — 5 years ago

Dry, mineral wine with noticeable tannins. Not many fruit or floral aromas, more like sour cherries. Alcohol taste is noticeable. Surprised by how powerful it is. — 5 years ago

Grappa made for two years only from the must of Chateau Lafite (seems it took them a while to figure out what he was doing with their waste product...) Aren’t enough O’s in smooth for this baby. Worth seeking out. — 5 years ago

The sheer Alcohol spirit in Grappa seems way higher than the 42% on the label. This has a twist of orange rind in the mix. A good way to finish the night off. Just don’t overdo it as you “will be borrowing enjoyment from the following day” as Sir Richard Branson so eloquently put it. — 8 years ago

Almost too sweet. Awesome with lemon pound cake. Possibly great with Thai/spicy Asian food. — 8 years ago
