Last week’s two rose posts, which seemed to generate tremendous un-enthusiasm, did more than that. They were so unpopular that they helped drop the blog’s visitor average by 10 percent in just five days.
Some of that was certainly the holiday weekend. But the Monday Memorial Day post, featuring John Cleese as Basil Fawlty, did better than the rose posts. So did last year’s regional wine week posts, which usually solicit tired yawns.
I can see I have my work cut out for me when it comes to rose.



those who can, drink. those who can't, post...

I think you need to upgrade the quality of your commentors. Also, maybe some happy hour noshes.

I'm in the rose camp. Always enjoy a dry, chilled rose on warm days.

...Think the same thing can be said of those who shun Rose that is said of those who make predictions: There's those who don't know and those who don't know they don't know.
