Wine For Normal People Radio: Ep 053 -- Rosé, Blush, and Other Pink Stuff

This week we tackle the pink...a wine you need to be drinking.

After a great listener question on whether or not lots of bubbles in a sparkling wine indicate quality (listen to find out!), we give a run down on Rosé. 

Download it on iTunes, or here is a link to the podcast: LINK

...and here are the notes:

• How Rosé is made: a little mixology, skin contact, and bleeding...that's right, it gets gory.
• Which grapes are commonly used and where 
• What exactly is Blush and what's the difference between blush and Rosé
• How do you know if you are getting a sweet, white Zinfandel type wine or a dry Rosé?
• Regions that make pink wine: Rosé Champagne, Rosado, pink from the US, other regions around the world
• Other variations of Rosé: Vin Gris, orange wine
• Why vintage matters
• Serving temperatures and ideas on food pairings

And the Grape of the Week (I know we've been slacking...): Mourvédre!
