In Episode 15 of Thanks! It's Vintage, co-hosts Andrew and Lydia are diving headfirst into summer’s most iconic sip to uncover the fascinating, multifaceted world of Rosé. Far more than just a modern, patio-pounding trend, the duo traces the surprisingly ancient history of pink wine, revealing how some of the world's very first wines were actually closer to Rosé than the heavy reds we know today. From there, they break down the science of the shade, explaining the crucial production methods—like direct pressing, short skin maceration, and the saignée (bleeding) method—that dictate a wine's final color and flavor profile. Whether you prefer a bone-dry, pale-hued whisper from Provence or a robust, deeply pigmented Tavel that demands a prominent spot at the dinner table, Andrew and Lydia expertly guide you through the diverse spectrum of styles. Grab a chilled glass and get ready to see the wine world through Rosé-colored glasses as they prove exactly why this versatile, thirst-quenching category deserves your respect all year round.
