2022 Tavel Rosé HALF BOTTLE
TrinquevedelIt’s no wonder Tavel has been dubbed the king of rosés—there is something majestic that sets it apart from other rosés, a grandeur that could only come from Grenache grown in the Rhône Valley’s finest terroirs. Its rich fruitiness on the palate recalls ripe strawberries warmed under the sun, then notes of spice and licorice kick in for a full-bodied, full-flavored finish that marries beautifully with ratatouille or smoked pork chops.

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
