The Wine Knows

This afternoon, we had two couples over for an Easter meal. As the various toddlers screamed through the house, the adults enjoyed a glazed ham, green bean casserole and freshly baked bread.

For me, ham means rosé. I haven't gotten around to drinking up all my '06 rosés, so I rooted around in the cellar and found a Joie Wines 2006 Rosé, a pink blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir.

The good folks at Joie are all about the harmony of food and wine, and this wine certainly was a hit at our Easter table, marrying well with the ham.

The more I drink wines from Joie, the more I am impressed. It might just be time for me to head north of the border to acquire some more bottles.
