In Greek mythology, Gaia is a deity who is the ancestral mother of all life — the personification of earth. This is the inspiration Domaine Bousquet used for their Gaia brand of wines. Domaine Bousquet honors that inspiration through their 100% organic viticulture. Their Tupungato vineyards are located in the high elevations of the Uco […]

Review: Corvezzo Rosé Prosecco
Although the Corvezzo winery has been around since 1960, it might be a new name to you as their wines are making their debut the United States as of this year. Origins Organic Imports, which focuses on importing organically grown, value-priced wines, added three wines from Corvezzo to their portfolio this year — including this […]
Review: Domaine Bousquet Sparkling Rosé
I don’t know about you, but I love a good sparkling wine. It shouldn’t be something just for special occasions but something you can enjoy regularly. Some sparkling wines, like Champagne, are expensive and associated with luxury — giving people the false impression that sparkling wine has to be expensive. But there are some outstanding, […]
Review: 11 Minutes Rosé, Pasqua
11 minutes, that’s how long the juice for this wine remained in contact with the skins after pressing. The winemaker at Pasqua believes that’s the perfect amount of time for the wine to gain its rosé hue from the grape skins. After those 11 minutes, the must is cooled and transferred to a stainless steel […]
Review: Jacob’s Creek, Le Petit Rosé
What comes to mind when you think of Australian wine? I have to admit, in the past, before I took a closer look at Australia, all I thought of was either bulk wine with kangaroos on the label or big, heavy Shiraz. However, like most wine regions, there’s a great variety of wines available from […]
Review: Leitz, Pinot Noir Rosé Brut
Weingut Leitz is a German wine producer, based in the Rheingau region, I’ve been following for a number of years and I’m consistently impressed with their wines. They are also becoming one of the best known producers in the region. The Leitz family estate was taken over by Johannes Leitz in 1985. At the time […]
Review: Francoise Gazeau, Cremant de Limoux Brut Classique Rosé
Today I have yet another wine from my friends at Naked Wines, which is kind of like a wine club but it’s not really a wine club. If you’re interested in understanding what that means (which you should be) read my explanation of it in this review. And regardless of whether you read that overview, […]
Review: Derek Rohlffs, Rosé of Pinot Noir
This is another wine from my friends over at NakedWines.com, who have provided a special offer for readers of this site to get 12 bottles of wine for $79.99 (shipping included). That link gets you the deal. As someone who has spent years on a quest for good wine deals, I have to say that this deal […]
Review: Domaine Bousquet, Rosé Wine
I’ve previously written about a few wines from Domaine Bousquet in Argentina and I really like what they’re doing, not just the quality of their product but how they go about producing wine. Their vineyards are at a high altitude with dry, sandy soils. The conditions are ideal for organic production methods and all their […]
Review: Pasqua, 11 Minutes Rosé
My spring rosé reveling continues with a rosé from northern Italy. More specifically, it comes from the Lake Garda vicinity, which is not only a beautiful region but is also home to one of my favorite DOCs, Lugana. But, of course, I have many favorite DOCs. The wine comes from a winery called Pasqua and […]
