When Melinda and I were down in St Martin last Spring it's all we drank. Because it's a French island the selection was pretty good--alas, most U.S. liquor stores seem to have a pretty slim selection--and we seemed to try a new vineyard almost every night. There was one rose that my French host called "Bleu" because it was in a blue bottle but honestly I can't remember the name--a not uncommon occurence after washing down several bottles at lunch. It wasn't an especially distinguished wine, but it was clear and crisp and slipped down a treat. Does it ring any bells? Nick–Couldn’t agree more with you about roses.
