Lately I’ve become a big fan of California Roussanne, such as those produced by Copain, Alban, Zaca Mesa and Qupe. It’s becoming an expensive habit however, as these all come in around $30-50/bottle. Anyone aware of... (15 replies, last updated by vinosnob April 17, 2009)

After drinking some Roussanne lately (At Tabla and the Tasting Room) and loving the lush full taste and aroma I’m having a hard time finding bottles in shops. So far I found a 1997 Zaca Mesa (is this too old?) and a 1999... (8 replies, last updated by howard February 18, 2001)

There was an excellent article in Sunset this month about wine bars and how they are pairing the wine with food now. Mentioned was 750 ML in Portland. Has anyone been here? They serve Roussanne (a white wine from France) and have... (13 replies, last updated by Sam Tannahill August 25, 2004)

from the Rhône and the Languedoc (especially ones with a high percentage of marsanne, roussanne or viognier and including New World Rhône blends) and some of the fruitier chenin blancs from the Loire. Deeply coloured and flavoured... (8 replies, last updated by Chicago Mike November 7, 2006)

If you can tell us the importer, that’s usually a good place to start. Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc that I know of is typically roussanne, grenache blanc and maybe clairette. (6 replies, last updated by bobby06877 February 26, 2007)

opened a CabSav, Tempranillo, Merlot, Pinot, CabFranc, Zinfandel, Barbera, Sangiovese, Malbec, and Rioja for the reds. For the whites, I opened a Chardonnay, Sauvignon Black, Roussanne, Marsanne, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Gewurtz,... (14 replies, last updated by Bill Hunt November 11, 2006)

2004 Saumur from Château Yvonne. A Marsanne-Roussanne blend from the Rhône or California in a pinch. I also think it’d be really interesting to taste with a glass of fino or manzanilla sherry or a vin jaune from the Jura,... (5 replies, last updated by Chicago Mike October 29, 2007)

Elegant CA Chardonnay. What is your price range? If you can swing for it, I’d do something like a Ramey Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay. You could also do a Roussanne. The Qupe Bien Nacido is generally particularly fine. (5 replies, last updated by coseboom August 13, 2007)

white and one red. For those who don’t know this already, the restaurant only features Rhone varietals, not a Cab, Zin or Chardonnay to be found. The white flight consisted of a Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne and a... (0 replies, last updated by Randy Salenfriend February 5, 2002)

Actually whiner, neither Beaucastel nor Hermitage contain any viognier in them, although I think they’d work with the dish. Maybe you meant roussanne? I’d be careful of the CA Chardonnay since there are so many types.... (12 replies, last updated by whiner July 2, 2009)

I just had a Tablas Ck Roussanne with a slightly spicy Chinese seafood dinner, and it was a perfect match. (5 replies, last updated by Ed Dibble July 19, 2009)

I’m traveling to Lyon and then on to the Oisons region of the Alps (just east of Grenoble.) Can I get a quick primer on the wines of that area ? I think I know that Rhone reds are often Syrah, and Rhone Whites might be... (7 replies, last updated by Vlajos July 9, 2009)

has TANNIN! And body, and richness. You could honestly pair this with a pork chop... or a STEAK! The nose is a little white Hermitage-ish; Roussanne or Marssanne. Dry honey, dry pineapple, lavender, rose petals, acacia flowers,... (2 replies, last updated by whiner December 13, 2007)
