You anywhere near Niagara?

Most of the Tavels that are available in AZ/US are wonderful.

Beckman (San Luis Obispo/CA/US) does a very nice Granache Rose.

This should get you started,

Not really. Are Niagra Roses available away from the winery. I have
Tavel's, by the way and was looking for something a tad spicier.

Has anyone tried Folie as Deux's Rose looking wine?

Charles Melton from the Barossa in Australia makes a very nice Rose
called Rose of Virgina. I don't know if you can find it but its worth a try

Just recently had this year's (2004) Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose and it
was showing very well. A serious rose to stand with Tavel as the most
serious in France.

As Dale noted, a lot of Bordeaux chateaux seem to have released roses
in 2004. So far I've only seen Monbousquet and Calon-Segur. Neither
have been exciting (and I'm a big Calon-Segur fan, so I was disposed to
like that one). You might look to the Loire for cabernet-based roses.

I also find that lighter Bardolino or Valpolicella (not the new,
heavily extracted, trophy Valpos) do well with rose-friendly foods.

Finally, I just tried the sparkling rose from Bugey-Cerdan (a Savoie
appellation) for the first time. Sweet, fizzy, and a hell of a lot of
fun.

Enjoy,

Jim

Hear! Hear!

I also like Diane de Puymorin‘s rosés — both the Trassegum and her
Classique — from Ch. d‘Or et des Gueles near Génerac. The Trassegum is
a wonderfully fruity but dry wine of considerable intensity - a food
rosé — but I don‘t know if she exports to the USA.

My top contenders so far this year:
2004 Cantalupo "il Mimo"
2004 Ch. d'Oupia (Minervois)

As Jim noted, the Tempier '04 is very good, but at $25+ quite a bit
more than other ros=E9s.

Also good, if maybe a notch below the above:
2004 Baudry Chinon

Next level, still offering good value:
Mas de la Dame

Haven't had, but others that are usually pretty good include the Grande
Cassagne and the Chivite rosado.

No, Canadian Rosés are generally not available internationally. That's good
for us as an outside market would only hoist the price of some really nice
CF based summer tipplers.

While I agree with all of the above recommendations, none have so far
mentioned *my* favorite rosé: Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé ;-)

And it IS a good one. This is a favorite food-Champagne around this house.

Greetings Larry;

I've been guzzling quite a bit of CSC Rosé of late and like it quite fine.
I've also just picked up 6 Jackson-Triggs which I sampled at the winery on
Saturday and quite like also. I'm really partial to CF Rosé and don't much
like the blended impostors. I kinda think they're only available at the
wineries but hey, give the LCBO a try.

As an aside, CSC is re-re-releasing the really, really last of their 2002
Gamay Res. this month and has very limited qtys. @ $24.95.... I've spoken
for a case but if your interested and can't get any on your own hook I would
be willing to share my allotment.... Greater love than this hath no
man........ :>))

The Ch. Grande Cassagne is a perennial best buy. The '03 last year was
stunningly good - especially at under $10 - and the '04, out now, is also
excellent.
