Irresisto I missed-oh!

Much of what I hear from friends is that they like dry wine and they don't like white or rose wine. Before you include yourself in that group I recommend you go out and try as many whites as you can and as many wines in varying sweetness as you can. Depending on your mood and what you are looking to serve it with you may be surprised. However this is not the post for surprising you on that...

J. Christopher Christo Irresisto '07 is here! :) After last years release (see my prior posting) I was looking forward to the next release of the Irresisto. However Jay Sommers threw in a twist. No longer is this a Pinot Noir rose with Pinot style - this is no wine easy like Sunday morning, rather this is bracing! This rose blend of Grenache and Syrah has a great aroma of red berries darker that what should bely a rose I thought. Sharp and pungent with a masculine strong push. When I first took a sip the dry alarm went off in my mouth! Wow this is a dry wine and powerful for a rose. If you think you like dry here is a good test. :) Red tangy berries and zest hit my palate. It is young and not the longest bodied wine by any stretch but I thought it cried out for meat on charcoal to be served with it and others agreed. Beyond that this is a dry and powerful rose suitable for spring and summer grilling it also has one heck of an affordable price at 10/bottle. $ What a deal - you might even decide its worth just buying a bottle for tasting on your own since its so affordable. I think I'm going to skip a bunch of weekend lattes and buy up a half case. Cheers!
