Rosé is red wine in a pink summer dress.
Friday July 23 & Saturday, July 24
we exposed the truth about rosé wines for you!
Myth:
Rosé wines are too sweet. Rosé is white zinfandel.
Truth:
The only difference between red wine and rosé is that the grape skins are removed earlier in the winemaking process, before the wine develops deep colour and strong tannins (the bite that makes you pucker).
We tasted a selection of rosés from around the world, paired with delicious snacks!
