ok, i don't bike ride really. but i do drink wine, and i finally gave in and tried a very commercial french wine called "red bicyclette". this really modern, kitschy label produces reds, whites, and rose wines. i tried the rose. it is exactly as they say it will be on the label, raspberry is strong, slight strawberry flavors, cherry. this wine is a summer fruit basket. i was pleasantly surprised that i loved it. my husband and i had it with spicy shrimp and a fresh summer salad.
i thought that "red bicyclette" was possibly just some plunk wine sold to get american novice drinkers to buy french wines the way we have fallen in love with such aussie productions as "yellowtail", which in my opinion deserves its popularity. but i was wrong, at least in the case of the rose. when i try the rest i will let you know, happily.
red bicyclette rose wine, 2006, france, approx. $9. take a ride when you can.
don't be afraid to tilt the glass.
Stumble It!
