Today's recommended wine
Paul Jaboulet Aine, 2008 Parallele 45 France, $13
This is textbook rose: a gorgeous pink color, a blend of Rhone grapes, tart and dry with a bushel basket of fruit. The blend from this famous grower and shipper is 50 percent Grenache, 40 percent Cinsault and 10 percent Syrah. On the nose, it's like inhaling a bowl of strawberries; on the palate, it's tart-dry and intensely fruity, with good weight and subtle skin tannins. It's a fabulous food wine. Put it on the table with your best seafood, chicken or pork.
