In Reply to: RE: Summer rose.... posted by mkuller on July 03, 2010 at 18:55:36
at $22 you are paying for the bottle...unless you do a bunch, silk screening is more expensive than paper labels. From the PH/acid numbers I assume they make the rose the proper way so there are real fruit costs involved. $22 makes them smarter business people than me. I charge $16 and it's my least profitable wine.
Are they really selling 2007 still? I'll be done with my 2009 soon.
BTW, just 3 plus years ago, when I opened the tasting room, I couldn't get people to even taste the rose...now, people come looking for it and almost every winery in town has one of the shelf.

and why?
All Cab Franc. Why? because I like it,I guess. It has a little something extra (earthiness) that some other varietals don't have for Rose'. It's not the easiest grape to use...you have let it get ripe enough that the vegetal flavors are gone, but not too ripe to keep alcohols down.
...since the one we liked was $22.
The local wine shop recommends a $30 French rose.
I think it won a tasting thehre.
I'm always amazed at what wines will bring. $30 seems a bit strong. I remember drinking the best that Tavel had to offer for a couple of bucks back in the 80's.
Rose is a wine meant to be sipped on a summer day, not too long after release. Different grapes add different interpretations, but it is still typically a wine of limited levels, IMHO.
Steve, does it cost as much to produce? I assume not, because you don't have to cellar it near as long.
Now, rose champagne is a horse of a different color.
Right, I have it out the door in May and sold thru by sometime in August. So in that sense it is cheaper... But you make it with red grapes, which most always cost more than red varieties.
...I'm not a big fan of Billecart-Salmon and it is very pricey.
My two favorites are California Roederer Brut Rose and a German one from Alsace we tasted at a wine bar in Santa Cruz last summer - Domain Allimant-Laugner.
Both are in the low $20s.
Local wine shop has a few $10 French roses we have liked in the past.
...if only we'd tasted yours....
