Introduction
I brought 3 wines. See if you can figure out which one. The Domaine de la Petite Rose is my best value of the year at $3 a bottle on a recent email blast sale.
NV Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Cuvée Brut 92 Points
France, Champagne
Another stellar bottle. Golden yellow in color with an array of flavors of apples, minerals, chalk, lemon and baked pie crust. Medium finish and good acidity.

USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
Sweet with little acidity. Pear and floral notes dominate on this low interest wine for my palate.

2010 Domaine de la Petite Cassagne Costières-de-Nîmes Rosé 88 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Costières-de-Nîmes
For $3 how can you go wrong. Watermelon, strawberry, rose petals and minerals. Short to medium finish and refreshing. An excellent QPR.

Ripe fruit, oak and vanilla. Past peak on this bottle but still drinkable.

2006 Armand Roux Bordeaux Verdillac 79 Points
France, Bordeaux
Given as a gift and not a good example of starter Bordeaux. Simple and light with dust, spice and damp earth. Hardly drinkable.

2007 Joh. Jos. Prüm Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 93 Points
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Wonderful wine with peach, apricots, minerals, slate and floral notes. Some nice sweetness that is balanced by the wonderful acidity. Medium finish and drink or hold.
