Château Coupe Roses 2012
Languedoc, France$22.30
If you're going to drink this one cold, don't drink it. Give it to someone else. It should be 12-16 degrees to enjoy the aromas, richness and spice this wine has to offer. Texture is buttery, cut off with dried orange peel, hint of cloves, and a minerality that resonates and lasts. There is also a subtle element of spruce on the finish. My boyfriend reminded me of this wine for a rainy, cool, summer evening. I wish I could sip on it by a camp fire with the ocean waves crashing in the background. Perfect wine to pack for when all the ice has melted in the cooler.

Trimbach Pinot Blanc 2011
Alsace, France$17.95
Subtle and soft texture, but fresh. Delicious fruit (pear/peach). But my favourite quality in this wine is the spicy minerality (red slate in the soil?). Amazing value, and edgier than I expected. Pleasant surprise. Going to pick up a few extra bottles.
