I think that was the day we discovered rosé

Some time ago we were in Berkeley, California at an outdoor event celebrating a Chez Panisse anniversary. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon, and the street in front of the restaurant was closed to traffic. The vibe was festive and there was a bounty of good food. Each table featured a specific purveyor. 

The staff was grilling meats and shucking oysters; the farmers that had come down for the day were selling their wares. Two dry rosés from Provence were on offer by the glass: a rather dark cassis-colored Tavel from Château de Trinquevedel and a salmon-colored Bandol from Domaine Tempier.
