Rose lovers: two great takes just released

Thomas George just released their 2013 and a case is on its way. We get one every year and we always get new converts with it.
The Rosato of Barbera is new to us but we discovered this on a buying trip to an area just south of Placerville; zero residual sugars and a very interesting take on Barbera. The Shenandoah Valley is a small appellation and has maybe 15-20 wineries; many of them specialize in Spanish/Portuguese wines. The first white zin was made here 20-30 years ago and was a great, dry rose before white zin became the sweeter entry wine for non-wine drinkers.
If you like dry rose, do not miss out on the Tho. George.

I love rose on a sunny afternoon. Then...we switch to a good red and finish with Tequila or Cognac.
