Rosé is style of wine that has a slight red tinge to it. Traditionally, color has been added by adding grape skins to the wine, but not long enough to qualify it as a red wine. Alternatively, red wine is sometimes blended with white to achieve the desired color.
This year, we have a limited number of Rosé kits from Winexpert. On the drier side (it’s a Sauvignon Blanc base), it should have slight citrus notes.
From Winexpert: Offering up tropical notes of pineapple and white peach with raspberry and cherry. The off-dry finish is balanced by expressive acidity for a refreshing, crisp wine that’s great on its own or with your favorite seafood dish.
For additional background on rosé wine, there’s a really nice article from the nice folks at Wine Folly. It discusses various tastes available in rosé wine, as well as how rosé wines are made. You can view the article here.
We have other blushes available too for your summer enjoyment! How’s about some other offerings from Winexpert, like:

But, before we share the results of our Wine Tasting event, just a quick: “Thank You”!
To those of you who contributed: Thanks for sharing your wine. They were all delicious!
To those of you who stopped by, tasted, and voted: Thanks for all of your “hard work”!
It was a pleasure to see all of you (and meet some of you). It’s always a fun time for us, we trust that it was for you as well.
We had enough entries to split to FOUR categories!: Red, White, Fruit, and Dessert Wines. The wine receiving the highest number of votes in each individual category will receive a $50 Wines By Design Gift Certificate.
Additionally, an Overall Winner (the winner with the greatest number of votes) will receive an additional $50 Gift Certificate.
