Comments on: Rosé Season Approaches https://kermitlynch.com/blog/2009/03/27/rose-season-approaches/ An inside look at the wines of Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant.

In fact, later rumors suggest the distributor has actually reduced the price to some retailers, suggesting that the massive increase for the 2007 may have been met with considerable resistance. With that said, some retailers are clearly gouging, most likely because of the rumors of a huge price increase. In other words, the greed is among retailers rather than the producer or its distributor, or so it appears.
As long as you can buy this wonderful wine for less than $35 a bottle, it is worth it. At $30, it’s a true bargain, all things considered. At $40, however, it is overpriced, its quality notwithstanding.

The price on that wine has gone up dramatically in just a few years and if it continues to do so even a big fan such as me will be driven by my anti-gouging leanings to seek a substitute. It’s a pity. The Tempier rosé is made to be enjoyed by the many not hoarded by the Hamptons set.

I’m actually planning on doing another post on the Rosé tomorrow (Tracie B and I are tasting tonight).

Do you know how many bottles of Rosé are produced and how many reach the U.S.?

See you in May at the Kermit Lynch tasting! Will be SO blogilicious!
