Staff Pick Notes

Whispering Angel is famous for a reason. From Monaco to the Hamptons, this is the rosé countless socialites have served with lunch. It’s timeless. Dry, fruit-forward, and playfully acidic, this is a wine you could get in trouble for drinking too much of. The first time I had it, I got notes of strawberry, lemon, and white peach. I’ve probably had it 30 times since (oops). While it may not be the most authentic or indie of Provençal rosé’s, it sure is delicious. Try it for yourself. It’ll transport you right to the beach.

Glossary

Grenache

The Grenache grape (a.k.a. Grenache Noir) produces relatively pale, fruity red wines that often stop just short of sweetness. Grenache is familiar to most wine drinkers as an ingredient in the blends of the Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon, where it can add charm to varieties that are a little rougher around the edges. The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Syrah

We'd like to clear this up once and for all: the Shiraz grape is genetically identical to Syrah. Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...

Provence

Provence has some of the best vine-growing territory in the world, with a perfect Mediterranean climate tempered by the cooling effects of the sea. The region produces a broad range of wines, the majority of which pair effortlessly with the light, herb-infused cuisine of Provence. Bandol, arguably the most significant appellation in Provence, produces spicy, earthy, rich red wines. These tend to be big and well-structured, relying on the Mourvèdre grape for their power. Vines in Bandol are...

Côtes de Provence

Wines from Côtes de Provence, which can be red, white or (most commonly) rosé, are the Provençal wines most likely to be encountered in the U.S. The fresh and fruity rosés represent about 80% of the region's production, and are usually blends of Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah.
