Many years ago, Melissa and I traveled to the south of France and fell in love with each other. That’s the important part of that story but a little side effect of that trip was the discovery of dry, Provençal rosé.
Of course, when we got back to the States and got up on our soapboxes to proclaim the wonder of this wine, all we got were crickets….our market was still stuck on white zin when it came to pink wine.
Of course, a lot has changed since the 90’s including the bucket loads of Gassier’s Esprit Rose that we’ve enjoyed vintage in and vintage out for just under twenty bucks a bottle.
But one wine we’ve never offered is the estate’s flagship rose. Why not? Because its best price is usually about thirty bucks a bottle and that just seems too high for Provincial rose even if it does have a glowing 92 point review from Vinous.
But today we have Gassier’s Pas du Moine Rose – the best price I could find online was $27.99, but today, ours beats that by a mile.

92 Points, Vinous
Brilliant salmon skin. Highly perfumed, mineral- accented aromas of fresh berries, citrus and pit fruits and a suave floral note. Silky and focused on the mouth, offering juicy nectarine, strawberry and blood orange flavors that show fine clarity and tension. Deepens on a very long, lively finish, that leaves a repeating floral note behind.
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a rich, raspberry-flavored wine, full of vibrant acidity and fruitiness. Freshness contrasts with the wine’s ripeness and generous structure. Drink from late 2020.
We were the first in the country to bring in Bisol’s Prosecco Rose last year, a super tasty, refreshing sparkler from the Veneto region of northeast Italy. Now, fresh off a huge feature in The Wall Street Journal in which they were crowned as the top Prosecco Rose in a lineup of 14, I suspect what was once our little secret will explode. James Suckling also finally got around to tasting it and gave it 91 points. I’d rate it even higher. The 2020 Bisol Jeio Brut Prosecco Rosé is remarkable, and simply put, mouth-wateringly delicious. Inviting aromas of flowers and wild strawberries, with a complex mouthfeel that sings with citrus fruits and creaminess from the tiny crisp bubbles.
Fransesco Vezzelli’s Lambrusco is easily one of the best expressions of the grape around. He’s been making wine since 1958, and he’s a strict and meticulous man who controls every aspect of the operation from winemaking to ensuring his wine is temperature controlled every step of the way to America because he says it’s essential to preserve the wine’s freshness and superior aromatics. This is a delicious sparkler that is guaranteed to be the freshest, most enjoyable sparkling Lambrusco you’ve ever tasted.
The vines from which the 2019 “Les Galets de la Berthaude” draws its grapes are quite old – the average being 60 years old – with many well over one hundred years old. This year’s 2019 “Les Galets de la Berthaude” is made in the style the Nicholas Wines buyers love best; quite simply 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 100% delicious. This is a racy, structured and elegant CdP with the bones to age very nicely for the next decade and a half.
The 2020 Stolpman Para Maria de los Tecolotes Rosé (affectionately named after Ruben’s wife and partner, Maria) is an interesting blend of 60% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache, 20% Syrah. It’s salmon-pink in color, with a great nose of ruby red grapefruit, lychee and ginger. It’s crisp and bone-dry — a classic provence style Rosé but this one is probably a little juicier than ever before. Chalk that up to the higher percentage of Grenache this year. This is a top American Rose.
