Most winter nights we reach for a rich red to shake off the chill. But on the coldest nights, when we break out the chicken noodle soup and dry heat is pouring out of the fireplace, our palates crave something refreshing. White wine? Forget it. But a clean, fruity rosé? Why, it's just what the doctor ordered. Here are two we like at the right price.
La Vielle Ferme, Cotes Du Ventoux, 2008, France, Generally Available, $7
A nose of wildflowers, flavors of melon, muskmelon & tart cherries. Savor a glass of this now, or in the summer while watching the Tour de France Mt. Ventoux stage, which passes through these vineyards. B+
Monkey Bay, Rose, 2007, New Zealand, $13
Fresh cherries & Grass, with a zingy seam of mineral. Fresh bread, cheese, a salad, and a glass of this will take the monkey off anyone’s back. A-
And what to serve with your rosé? Aside from chicken soup, try
Asian Arancini - a fun, unusual treatment of leftover fried rice I put together for the Phantom Gourmet.
