Gems from the Mad Rose Portfolio...
Every job has particular benefits that are specific to that vocation. Here at The Wine Source, we get the opportunity to taste lots of wines. Now that’s not to say that all these wines are good; some are, in fact, down right dreadful. I would go as far to say that oftentimes a lot of the wines out there in the world are just okay to pretty good. But then there are times when the opportunity arises to try diverse and truly interesting wines and we are reminded how much fun it can be. Recently, a trip to New York (yes, it was only NY, not Europe or South America or Australia) to taste wines from the portfolio of importer Neal Rosenthal resulted in such an experience. This portfolio consists of wines that have been “produced in limited quantities by a dedicated artisan…whom follow traditional methods and produce their wines in as natural a manner as possible” as the black label of every Rosenthal wine will tell you. The wines seek to offer the concept of terroir, or a sense of place, the distinct qualities of smell, flavor, and texture that a particular vineyard location can impart to a wine. Don’t miss an opportunity to taste a selection of the gems that we brought back.
