A nice beni (at least wine-wise) of traveling in France is that almost every restaurant, cafe, and bistro offers nice rosé wines. It’s a category of wine too often given only cursory thought in American eateries. Perfect for a summer day, they’re flexible with food too. The first of these I enjoyed with veal piccata, the next with an omelette and veggies, the third with turkey Normandie (a slice of turkey with fresh mushrooms and cream sauce).

Despite the “musky” name of the grape, there is nothing musky about this wine. Extra tart with lemon-peel, green apple, and plenty of mouth puckering verve to make you want some Brittany seafood. Decent wine and only 12 euro on a wine list.
