This Sunday we’ll have two new Frenchies open for. We’ll start off with a nice dry rosé from the Cotes de Thonge region of Southern France, followed by Roussillon red. See what the same combination of grapes produce in a red and rosé. Stop in for a taste.

2008 Clos Saint Georges Cuvée Chevalière    ($12)
