I love this zesty pink wine from the talented and satirical Stillman Brown, who believes as I do that Rosé should be refreshing (meaning: low in alcohol and this one is ideal at 12.5 percent). A blend mostly of Grenache and Syrah with small amounts of Cinsault and Mourvedre, it drinks deliciously on its own. And I love it with food, from chilled shellfish and salmon sashimi to chicken and pasta salad or garden fresh gazpacho. It’s just hitting the marketplace, and you can still order it directly from Stillman by visiting HYPERLINK “http://www.redzeppelinwinery.com” www.redzeppelinwinery.com; it’s only $17 retail.
