The crowded field of Rosé cries out for leadership and direction. The Rosés from this Provence Chateau may be the best place to start. Check out this four course lunch we enjoyed with their wines.
Restaurant Recommendations

The wine pairings we enjoyed at Mr. G’s illustrate the flexibility of Sancerre and Chardonnay with different foods. Here’s how it came down.
Nebbiolo and Lobster Linguini with Truffles
So you like Nebbiolo from Barolo and Barbaresco, but never tried Nebbiolo from Gattinara??? This pairing will convince you to do so.
The Wines of Château Beaucastel

Japan Restaurants

Beaucastel and Bacchus in Buffalo
Have you ever seen a restaurant wine list that offers wines at (or modestly above) retail prices? Rare, right? How about Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échézeaux 2002 for less than half the current auction price? I found such a place in Buffalo NY.
