Chateau Blagnac Haut Médoc Bordeaux 2008

For me, this was a perfect wine: fruity and a bit smoky, blackberries, acidity, mild tannins. Had it with quinoa salad last night and finished it off today, Bastille Day, in the late afternoon. Fuel for tonight's fireworks.

Plessis-Duval Cabernet D'Anjou Rosé 2011

It's rosé season in Paris. Every wine aisle is stocked with the stuff, which suits me just fine. 

This one is off-dry. It's crisp and minerally, with sort of a diesel thing that reminds me of a riesling. I like it. It's best cold. Like Paris is, right now, and rainy. And dark. A grey summer so far, but fun too.

Chicken is warming in the oven, and the potatoes are about to go in.
