A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Tschida: A Jenny&Francoise Slctn, who specialize in natural wines. Their wines tend to be on the funky/natty side. In this case, it was quite minimal. But to call it a rose wine is quite a stretch.

2. Land of Saints: A 3-winemaker operation which includes AngelaOsbourne/A Tribute to Grace. Not seen this (rather garish) label before so wanted to try it.
