15 Aug Rosé
Rosé… not pronounced like the flower, but rather as “ro-zay” is a pink-hued wine made from (mostly) red wine grapes (like Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Syrah and Monastrell) that are pressed but quickly taken away from contact with the skins (the part of the grape that actually imparts the red color to the wine).
Rosé is a favorite summer drink for regulars of Art of the Table. It can range from a light, almost yellow, coral color to a rich, deep, almost magenta hue. Though sometimes color can be indicative of flavor (with fuller wines having deeper colors), it’s not always true.
Rosé wines at Art of the Table are dry and tend to have great acidity. There are a variety of flavors that can be found in rosés – pineapple, banana, blackberry, apricot, strawberry, cherry, flint, and minerality. They are perfect with light, summer picnics, salads and desserts, but also go great with sunshine, a porch, and good conversations with friends!
