What is a good sweet, rose' wine that won't put a huge dent in my wallet?

I don't know a whole lot about wine, but what is a good, sweet, rose' wine that isn't super expensive?

My favorite Rose is Vin Gris de Cigare from Bonny Doon. It is a relatively inexpensive ($10-14) Rose which is full of fruit and floral scent, not overly sweet and fairly complex for a rose wine. It is made by a wine genius from California, and it is, by far, one of the very few rose I would even bother to drink, not mentioning keep around in my cellar. Besides, the label is heck of fun to read.



Once you like Rose, think of Etude Rose, which is about $25 and more complex, but also more expensive.



Good luck.
Reply:two buck chuck, yep its only 1.99 and it won out over gallo and merot just last week. its a real interesting story to go along with it too. check it out...i'm going to at least try it.
Reply:personal favourite is Mateus Rose from Portugal. Bout 12 bucks a bottle

It is about 10-12. I like this one the best of most I have tried.

A great site is wine.com. You can get great wines at low prices. It also has wonderful descriptions and reveiws.
Reply:2 Buck Chuck is made by the Bronco Wine Company (Franzia) and its nothing but Franzia in a glass bottle. They just open up valve 143 ( I think) to fill up that bottling line.

Did you know the genius at Trader Joe's whom came up with Charles Shaw (2 Buck Chuck) was fired?

Yep. He dumbed down the whole Trader Joe's concept and now their stuck with a contact for a lake more of that garbage. Its not better than anything unless you think Franzia box wine is better than anything else. Why do you think they're selling it in other markets now? They're drowning in Two Buck Chuck and the so called blind tastings are bogus. They are a marketing ploy to move the juice.

For a REAL rose wine that's semisweet try:

Wattle Creek Rose

Vinum Cellars Rose (although not that sweet it seems so)
Reply:I would go with Oliver soft rosé wine. It costs around $8.00 for a 750mL. And it is also very delicious!
Reply:I'm not a big fan of Rose wine, but if I had to choose a favorite, this would be it.



2005 Ménage à Trois Rose

Price - $12 per bottle



A fruit-laden roller coaster ride of raspberries, strawberries, lychee nuts and flowers with a silky smooth finish.



Enjoy!
