The snowy, cold winter the East Coast has been experiencing does not demand a rose, but readers in warmer parts of the country may want to check out the full-bodied 2001 Tavel rose. This offering possesses a medium salmon color as well as a sweet bouquet of kirsch and framboise with real stuffing and depth. This tasty, intriguing rose will stand up nicely to grilled foods. This wine is drunk during its first 1-2 years of life, either alone at the end of a meal or with fresh fruit cocktails or tarts.
