The votes are in and we’re calling it officially rosé season!
We’ve decided to celebrate the fact it was 86 degrees in Boston yesterday with the 2007 Toad Hollow ‘Eye of the Toad’ Rosé. It’s made from 100% Pinot Noir from Sonoma County. This is a French-Style, bone dry, rosé with a gorgeous color. It smells of violets and rose pedals and has a fantastic strawberry flavor. It’s a steal to find a 100% Pinot Noir rosé for this price. Grab a few bottles with your sushi or spicy Thai takeout and sit on the deck/grass/stoop and get ready for summer!
Disclaimer:
If you weren’t around last year, please take note that rosé wines are NOT white zinfandel. These wines are NOT sweet, syrupy, “I just turned 21 and don’t like wine yet” wine. They are the real deal, not a Happy Meal. This style is light, sometimes fruity, and, most importantly, dry.
Trust us. Buy this wine and you’ll never look at pink wine the same way again!
