Summer's Here. The Wines Too!

For a wine lover, nothing says "Summer" like the arrival of the newest vintages of rosés. The light, fresh flavors offer the perfect counterpoint to the hazy, humid summer, and fit nicely with anything outdoors.

At Joe Canal's, the 2014 vintage rosé wines are arriving almost daily. Here's a look at a few:

Domaine de la Colombe Rosé Coteaux Varois en Provence 

Jubilant red strawberries jump from the glass on this cheerful rosé. The Coteaux Varois is a smaller appellation in the center of Provence. Composed of Cinsaut and Carignan growing in chalky soils, this ultra-fresh wine has fine structure and a fruity profile. A touch of grape tannins on the finish means this is great with a meal, especially alongside pesto, vegetables, herbed chicken, and prosciutto.

Our featured New Product in today's email, this wine sold out quickly last year. We recommend picking up a few bottles at this great Bottle Club® price: $9.96.

Les Vignerons de Tavel, Tavel Rosé Cuvée Royale

The Cuvée Royale consists of 8 varieties from the Tavel appellation, from a winery with 70 years of experience. A wine full of history, characterized by sustained pink color, aromatic intensity pepper and strawberries, and a velvety mouth, rich and spicy.

An exceptional wine to enjoy on Sushi, a Duck l'Orange, a stuffed capon with chestnuts, roasted peppers with olive oil, soup with pesto or a tajine with almonds.

Laudun Chusclan Vignerons Vin de Pays du Gard Réserve de la Saurine

Salmon pink with an intriguing nose that shows strawberry and cherry aromas, along with a hint of a stony minerality, rose petal aroma, and even wafts of camphor. The palate is pleasantly dry, with flavors of dried cherries and pink grapefruit. The finish is medium long.

Enjoy summer with a summer wine!
