The list fails without this
All the ladies will thank you.

I'll have a screwdriver, thank you very much.

Vodka before, vodka during, and vodka after.

There's nothing wrong with a good riesling on a hot day.

I learned to drink wine on the pink stuff. Then white, then was forced to drink red by an old employer, and learned that reds are the way to go. Hated them at first, but now by far my favorite. Whites are a distant second, though I'm a huge fan of prosecco.

I like the delicate bouquet of Night Train Express.

They have alcohol, count me in.

We owe the current up-swig in dry rosé to young people. They carry no presuppositions about its color; they have no hangover from the inglorious bastardization.

As one of the "young people" wine drinkers (hey, I'm under 30, in context of wine that's pretty young) I think they may be mistaking not giving a shiat for actual ignorance. I'm aware of why roses are associated with cheap, low-class wine... they generally are cheap, and "class" involves complex pre-aging processing and lack of post-aging processing, both of which are precluded by the nature of blush/rose wine making.

I just don't care, for the same reasons I don't have a stick up my ass about actual corks vs polymer corks vs screw-tops. I mean, I have an opinion, but it's based on practical considerations of gas exchange so I think screw-tops are better (pro tip: they are better, just sayin'). But generally, if it tastes good then the details of processing, aging, and even varietal aren't really relevant. It's a bloody recession recovery, the cheap/good balance leans left anyhow.

I'll choke some back if it comes in panty-remover strength.

Bah, give me a good red or white wine, none of this pink crap.

There's nothing I like better than a down-to-earth person like the one who wrote that article.

Or any day for that matter.

Indeed. Considering opening some tonight.

What's life like in the Mormon church?

M....as in "Mancy."

There's nothing more "nancy" than claiming to have a "man card" to begin with.

If you live in a warm environment and don't enjoy a good rose, I pity you.

My summertime beverage of choice

A dry Spanish rose with some grilled kabobs on a warm summer evening? Yes'm!

/single malt afterwards to calm my stuffed belly

what is this, a sorority?

You have a food blog and you're looking down on an entire class of (often very good) wine?

Shame.

I've never had a rose or blush wine that I liked. I would be willing to make exceptions, though, should anyone like to point me in the direction of a wine that doesn't taste like a sugar barf or a cough drop.

I like sweet wines, Reislings and such. Although in fairness I haven't found a wine yet that I didn't consider at least "drinkable". But I've had a few pinks and they're mostly gross: sweet in an artificial, unpleasant way.

Personally I'm a big fan of shiraz and malbec roses. As far as commonly available ones...Sofia is fairly nice, as is Crios.

They have it in watermelon now?

If I have to drink rose I turn it into a Sangria.

Ole!

Nothing to do with my masculinity - they're just horrid.

white zins are disgusting: sticky, sweet, like candy. dry French rosés can be quite good, though.

1/3 Vodak, 1/3 cranberry, 1/3 7-Up. It's pink. It's wonderful.
