I was lucky enough to be in town for this one. It was very good. I got to ask the winery owner why they can't make good Rose in California. He claimed that they can, but there is no market for Rose in CA.

If I won the lottery, I would start a quality Rose winery and market the heck out of it! Nothing beats a good Rose on a summer afternoon. It's a good thing I'm a frequent flyer so I can personally bring back Rose from Europe each time I visit. Bandol or Tavel usually work for me.

Anyhow Flora Springs makes a very good Chardonnay so I bought a couple of bottles. It tastes very close to Chardonnay Du Chardonnay which is the real thing or at least from the real place. I also bought a couple of bottles of the excellent Trilogy Meritage.
