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.
