"Keep a bottle chilled for an infernally hot day"

"Keep a bottle chilled for an infernally hot day" 🔥 This rose is devilishly good regards the weather. @dmwine rates it Excellent/Extraordinary and a Great Value in today's @washingtonpost and anyone who tastes it agrees.
"If you delight in trying wines from obscure grape varieties, here’s one for you: Rosé d’Enfer is 70 percent pinenc, which is more commonly known as fer. The balance is cabernet sauvignon. This hails from the foothills of the Pyrenees. Both varieties are tannic, which gives this rosé a bit of structure to back up the fruit. Keep a bottle chilled for an infernally hot day. Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale."

"This crisp white wine is made for spring" says Da

"This crisp white wine is made for spring" says Dave McIntyre in this week's @washingtonpost wine reviews. Rating Hasen Sprung Grüner Veltliner 2020 Excellent and a Great Value, he says "Quaffable and crisp, with notes of white flowers and quince, this wine is simple, refreshing and best when not too cold. And bonus — it’s a liter!"
