This blog vividly explains how I forget my own personal motto: You can do it all, you just cannot do it all at once. I write about kids, parenting, chickens, urban farming, food, wine, politics and anything else that strikes my fancy or ticks me off.

Rosés for $15 and Under - Stay Away from Chateau Miraval and Drink Great Wine
Yesterday a friend of mine let us all know on Facebook that she bought the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Rosé wine Chateau Miraval. She went on to say she was pretty convinced that the wine shop clerk snickered. I out and out laughed that someone would spend about $20 (average price nationwide is $23 without taxes according to wine-searcher.com) on the Jolie/Pitt creation*. It isn't that Chateau Miraval is a bad wine, it just isn't worth $20. I posted that there were far tastier Rosés at cheaper prices and people asked for my recommendations.
So here are my Rosé choices and are at or under $15 locally - nationwide pricing may differ. Click on the name of the wine to see a picture of the bottle and label.
