Recommendation for the Weekend: Rosé, for Good Reason


Today's email is not about an event or a contest or a new place to go.

It's just a recommendation, plain and simple.

A recommendation, that is, to drink some rosé wine.

Why?

Rosés had fallen out of favor there for a while but now they're back.

Big Time.

And they're especially nice for summertime drinking.

They're almost always served with a little chill to them.

They're dry, fruity, and they pair with a variety of foods.

They're made from any number of grapes, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Sangiovese and Syrah, though some are more esoteric. From northern Italy, for example, you'll find a rosatto (synonymous with rosé) made from the Refosco grape, known for producing spicy reds and dark fruit flavors.

Doesn't that sound
interesting?

Drinking rosé this weekend is like taming time.

It's a little retro.

But this time around, your taste history will be rewritten.
