Thanks for your comment, Steve. Just two points of clarification: (1) All "Potable Penguin" wine reviews are written by guest authors (in this case, Eric Robbins from ThayerAvenue.com) or staffers other than me. I'm off the sauce. (2) Wines reviewed on The Penguin are purchased in the downtown Silver Spring area. In this instance, Eric scored his juice at the county liquor depot on Colesville Road.

I agree with the Penguin. Rose is kind of like the mullet haircut of wines – given a bad name during the 80’s but now seen as a legitimate choice for many people.
Not sure how this posting (as nice as it is) relates to Silver Spring, but thanks anyway.

I drank beer with cheez whiz and Ritz crackers. It was exquisite.

Amen! You can pry my Carménère from my cold dead hands… But on that note, I still think rosés aren’t given a fair chance… Aside from a nice dry Riesling, I’m not really one for whites at all… Yet a good rosé can prove to be the perfect balance between the complexity of a red and the playful refreshment of a white…
