How to Serve Rose Wine

There are three main kinds of rose wine: blending (a combination of red and white wines), saignee (a byproduct of red wine), and skin contact (where crushed red grape skins are kept in the young wine for several days to impart their color). No matter which method is used (though blending is quite uncommon), rose wine tends to be similar in taste to white. Easy to serve and light to drink, rose is gaining popularity in North America with wines such as California White Zinfandel

1

Chill the rose wine in the refrigerator. A bottle of wine cools at four degrees Fahrenheit every 10 minutes. Since rose optimally should be served at 50 to 56 Fahrenheit, a bottle that's at room temperature should be chilled for about 2 hours and 15 minutes before it's ready to serve.

1.2

Remove the wine from the refrigerator and peel the aluminum seal off the top. Insert a waiter's corkscrew and turn it clockwise until it is almost completely inserted into the cork. Place the foot on the top of the bottle and lever out the cork until it makes a slight hissing sound.

2.3
Pour the rose into the white wine glass. Fill it 3/4 high in the glass. Roll the bottle when you've finished pouring to keep any drops from spilling on the side of the glass.

3.4
Swirl the wine in the glass to release the bouquet. Take a small sip and swirl it in your mouth to taste it.

4.5
Place the cork back in the bottle and put it back into the fridge if there's any wine remaining. Rose can be stored for up to three days in the refrigerator.

Tasting Notes:

Yellow Tail Shiraz is a highly drinkable and very reasonably priced Shiraz. If you are looking for a solid red table wine with enough complexity to keep you from longing for its pricier cousins, give the Yellow Tail Shiraz a try. It is smooth and plummy, with hints of berry, oak and vanilla. The deep rich hue of the wine is as lovely as its delightful texture
