I do have a question for you though . . . did the Grateful Dead drink a bottle of rose before each concert? I’ve been a long time rose fan (I’ve got a post here about my conversion in the South of France, actually, along with a recipe for grilled prawns that were paired with it). I do have a question for you though . . . did the Grateful Dead drink a bottle of rose before each concert?

Probably the most exciting wine styles entering the market everywhere. Makers giving rose the attention it deserves are reaping the benefits. As well as the more international varieties there are lots of exciting wines made from carmenere or sangiovese which is a great introduction to the variety itself for those who take little steps. We are all pink on the inside! Great to see the push towards rose continues to gather momentum everywhere. Probably the most exciting wine styles entering the market everywhere.

Wow. I think this could cause some fighting for spots with other wines eh? I love the top 10. And yes, number 9 is the best reason. I am constantly having to defend Rose, explaining the difference between a Rose and a Blush. It seems apparent once tasting, but wine makers aren't always clear about what is inside their pinkish hues. Seriously afraid of drinking another white red, I go for the European versions. It's safer for those of us who are determined not repeat the White Zinfandel trend. National Rose Month? Wow. I think this could cause some fighting for spots with other wines eh? I love the top 10.
