Rouge

Rouge Wine Details
Price: $5.99 per bottle

Description: Rouge - our everyday red quaffing wine blend- the Brits would call it "plonk", I prefer Plonque. I've made this from Cabernet and Merlot, Lemberger, and even a little Pinot noir. The current release (4/3/99 ) is mostly the Gamya Beaujolais clone of Pinot noir form Frank Olmstead's Vineyard with little Cab blended in .It's in a Chianti style, light with a somewhat sweet/tart cherry quality- the perfect match for Sloppy Joes. Caution: Do not contemplate a bust of Plato with this wine.
