Picked this up at the LA Wine Company for 9$. A blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache Blanc. This wine hails from the Costieres di Nimes, (If you get a chance to go to Nimes, do it. Nimes is an awesome French Riviera town boasting not only one of the most well preserved Roman coliseums, but also lots of awesome beaches and the beautiful French coast. Plus, you can easily pop over to both Nice and Monacco from there, which are also both quite interesting and fun.) which used to be part of the Languedoc region, but now is part of the Rhone. Really, who cares? But I digress. This is definitely not as interesting as the Elk Cove Pinot Rose that we had the other night, but it's cheaper by a couple of dollars. Lots of strawberries and stones, with intriguing grapefruit-y notes. Juicy, and just like a rose is supposed to be--although not terribly exciting. Still for 9$, you can't knock it too much. C+/B-
