It's easy to love French Rose, a Great Summertime Wine

These pretty pink wines are so pleasant for summer sipping. 

Feminine, like delicate ballerinas they please many senses.

Here are two from Amanti Vino in Montclair, who offers a very nice array of excellent Roses.

Damilano Barbera d'Alba a Good Red for Osteria Giotto, Trattoria Rustica or Pizzeria Ah Pizz

Damilano is one of the best “new-generation” wine makers in Piedmont, where Barbera is made. Wine Spectator writers James Suckling along with Jo Cooke and Rosanne Quagliata noted Damilano as one of the Wineries to Watch in Piedmont in 2008.

Actually Paolo Damilano has been hard at work along with wine maker Giuseppe Caviolasince since 1998 when he took over operations of the vineyard which had been producing wine since the 1800's.  

Naturally, being in Piemonte, their focus is on Barola, but fortunately they also produce a couple of thousand cases of this excellent Barbera. 

We enjoyed with a delicious Eggplant Parmesan I made for dinner, the comments were; "This is real Italian wine, just what I hoped for. Delicious."
