The roses (new laptop; sorry for no accents) from Languedoc are my favorite. In La Dordogne, we get L'Inattendu from Julien de Savignac in Le Bugue. So light/sweet without being too sweet. In the States I have ordered (though choked over the price) Hampton Water at $19.99 from wine.com. Imagine my surprise at finding it in a Carrefour mini mart in Villereal for 12 euros.
In the States I miss beurre demi-sel aux cristaux de sel de mer. There's nothing like cutting a knife through a block and seeing those crystals. And the taste, good grief. I've wondered if I could take the best butter I can find here and mix it with my daughter-in-law's Australian Murray River Salt Crystals (of substantial size, and I have tons) and come up with a reasonable alternative. Here in central Florida the butter choices are limited, although you can find Kerrygold and Plugra. One day one of my suitcases will be filled with that butter and some dry ice.
