With teriyaki sockeye and quinoa, 2014 Bedrock “Ode to Lulu” rose. Sweet/tart raspberry, flowers, good acids, crisp. B+

Friday night a friend dropped by for drinks on the patio with I grilled chorizo (served with snow peas, and cabbage). A couple roses and a half of red
2010 Cayuse “Edith” rose
This was a generous gift from a collecting friend. Red fruits and citrus, a bit ponderous. Not sure if the wine or just getting tired. B-/C+
2014 Muri Gries Lagrein Rosato
Liked more than the Edith, but this could use a bit more zip/verve. Nice somewhat dense cranberry/raspberry fruit, but a little soft on acids and not so long. B/B-
2006 Rossignol-Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin (375 ml)
Even in half bottle still showing some stern tannins. But the fruit is pretty supple, black cherry with nice soil tones, moderate length. Nice enough for $15. B
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
