You should all be careful throwing the word Rose around when talking about white zinfandel or other manufactured sweetened wines. There are plenty of true to style dry American or other new world roses to be had. We have Sutter Home to thank for the misconception that rose wine is sweet. That all being said if you like the wine you like the wine so drink up!


I completely agree that the best wine to drink is the one you enjoy! I generally drink whites in the summer and reds in the winter, regardless of the food I'm eating. The other night I had a delicious Cabernet with my fish, and the waiter didn't blink when I ordered it.

I've never found an American rosé that's not sweet. Can you suggest one for me to try?

There aren't many that make it into full blown US distribution. There are dry roses of pinot noir from Willamette Oregon. There are also dry rose of sangiovese and zinfandel (not white zin) coming out of Napa area. The problem with the good ones is they are normally small productions and limited distributions or sold only at the wineries. I am not familiar with wine distribution in NC so it may not be as diverse as I am used to in NJ. They are normally released in the spring and don't last long so that is your best time to look.
