Number 41 - Cuvee Rouge and a Rose

Cuvee Rouge and a Rose, 10x8, Oil on Gessoboard

So, it's been a while (yet again!) since I've posted anything, let alone painted anything. I couldn't decide whether to do a flower, a boat, bottles, or glasses. I compromised and did glasses and a flower.

For those of you that aren't familiar with a cuvee rouge, the one I'm referring to is darker than a rose and almost the color of a Pinot Noir with the aroma of strawberries and raspberries. It has a decadent flavor that reminds me of chocolate covered cherries. And whenever I would go to Thornton Winery in Temecula, California, the cuvee rouge is all I would drink. It was an addictive little bubbly especially enjoyed during a summer night at one of the many jazz concerts the winery hosts.
 
Sadly, I don't think they produce my favorite anymore... Oh, the memories!

Anyway, I thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy Cuvee Rouge and a Rose!
