Summary

You want to know more about rosé? Ian Renwick, our regular contributor from the Luberon on the border of Rhone and Provence with Domaine de la Citadelle has been studying the ins and outs of rosé for years now. As his apprenticeship comes to a close, his "dissertation" is all about rosé and he shares much of what he knows.

Here are the show notes. We discuss...

The history of rosé and overcoming the bad reputation of pink
Rosé's new found Popularity -- Brangelina, seasonality, and trendiness
How to make rose -- first how to make red and white, then the challenges of rosé
- What grapes go into rose and why a lot of rose is crap
- What people SHOULD do to make great rose -- DORK OUT
- Why rose is the "most technological of wine" -- and whether or not it's drink making or wine making (my new favorite question)
- The importance of maintaining aromatics in rose
Color differences, flavor differences and what to look for when shopping (hint, why color should NOT be a factor)
The question of age..
Food and wine pairing ideas

And then we end of the rosé rant!
