Overall Impression: First, I have to admit that I'm not a fan of Rosé wines...not even at a wedding.  This one was too tart for my liking.  It wasn't very flavorful to begin with and I thought it would get better.  You know how I feel about "critter wines."  If it has an animal on it, it probably will taste different.
