Drinks Best: Now

The Claude Val wines come to us from Domaine Paul Mas, located about as far south in the Languedoc as you can get and still be in France. And although you may technically be in France, the food, wine, and culture will all be Catalan.  The rosé is a traditional blend of classic rosé grapes. Red fruit and ripe berries lift out of the glass onto your nose and onto your palate. It has a soft and round palate yet remains lighter bodied to keep this a fun and fresh sipper throughout the warm weather. A bit of raspberry and a hint of red licorice on the finish brighten a delicious wine.

Pairings: A spread of hummus, olives, and camembert with rosemary-garlic crackers
