Salvatore Principe Toscano Rosso A modern twist on a classic region, this wine shows big, juicy new world fruit flavors of plum, cassic, blackberry and compote as well as old world style with sweet tobacco, rich earth and woody vanilla. Don't miss out- get them before they're gone! |

It's That Time of Year Again! by Greg KnowltonThe arrival of the baseball season and the end of the school year were two childhood hallmarks that let me know that summer would soon be here. And with summer came vacation, the beach, playing with friends, and a sense of freedom that cannot be replicated, only recounted in adulthood (something to do with jobs, bills, and all that fun stuff that comes with growing up! Every spring, starting in April, the new vintage of traditional, dry Rosés from France, Italy, Spain, California and elsewhere, show up in our store and provide me and other fans of these snappy, refreshing wines with enjoyable drinking throughout the summer and into early autumn. These wines have nothing to do with cloyingly sweet pinks (i.e. White Zinfandel or "Pink" Moscato), but rather are fresh, lively, and dry, bursting with strawberry and cherry fruit and subtle, herbal notes. Amazingly versatile, they work as an aperitif/cocktail wine and pair well with dishes such as salmon, chicken Caesar salad, and almost anything coming off the grill, from summer vegetables to sausages. This versatility is in part due to the fact that they have red wine flavors, yet possess the brightness and crispness of many white wines (and you drink them cool). We go through cases of Rosé at my house in the summer, and always have one or two chilling in the fridge. I've probably already tried a half dozen 2012 (the new vintage) Rosés from France, and the quality has been exceptional across the board. 2012 looks to be a fine vintage for these wines. We had the 90+ Cellars Lot 33 Languedoc Rosé open in the store recently, and it showed really well, WAY outperforming its modest $9.99 price point. After a fairly cool spring, it looks like we've finally turned the corner with sunny weather and 70+ degree days in our forecast. Perfect Rosé drinking weather! So please make sure to ask a Kappy's wine professional on your next visit for their favorites. Cheers,

). And since baseball and summer vacation don't resonate with me in quite the same way these days, a new indicator of summer's arrival has been etched in my psyche: Rosé wines!
