Duboeuf's new releases, which are now appearing, are the 1992s. On paper, 1992 is inferior to 1991. But Duboeuf's stricter selection process, combined with lower prices have made his wines winners again! If retailers, restaurants, and wine writers want to increase consumption of wine in America, one of the best places to start is to encourage consumption of Duboeuf's wines. For the level of quality and pleasure they provide, they are not just good values, they are cheap!Among Duboeuf's Vin de Pays (VDP) offerings from the viticultural area known as d'Oc, there is a fragrant, intensely fruity, refreshing, dry 1992 Syrah Rose. At $5 a bottle, this is a wine readers should be buying by the case and consuming before Thanksgiving, 1993. Displaying more body than most roses, Duboeuf is clearly aiming for a Tavel-like style of rose. Duboeuf prefers Syrah because he claims it gives additional fragrance. You can be sure I will be gulping some of this delicious rose down over the summer.Importers: William Deutsch and Sons, Chappaqua, NY and Wine Sellers, Skokie, IL.
