While respected and popular in other parts of the world, most oenophiles here have thought of this varietal as the sticky sweet cough syrup that teenybopper would drink, until recently. Ros\u00e9 has had a surge in popularity in the last several years and while still not on my favorite list it is one of Brax\u2019s. What I do find interesting about Ros\u00e9 is it has a wide variety in interpretation and thus it has essentially become the grab bag, or \u201cbox-of-chocolate\u201d for each winery, you never know what you are going to get. Some lean towards the sweet side, some are light and crisp, some a little bitter, and some can be big and bold, yet they all look alike. So with all of this in mind Brax decided that we should hold the first Santa Clara County Ros\u00e9 Throw Down and try to determine who makes the best Ros\u00e9 in the SCC region. On October 20th, 2013 we are going to invite some wine enthusiast and neophytes as well as a couple of our local sommeliers and try to crown the SCC Ros\u00e9 King (or queen). Interested in joining us? We may have a few tickets available for this event, just email, tweet or respond on facebook and we will let you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ros\u00e9&#8217;s here US have had a very bad reputation.
