Tuesdays 6:00pm – 7:00pm PST online Twitter hashtag #WineStudio
Summer is coming and it’s Rosé season in Sonoma. It’s often the least expensive wine in the region and the first to sell out. We’re talking Rosé of course! And Sonoma knows what it’s doing when it comes to this quaffable style of wine.
#winestudio is a free online event.

Right now our wine market is overflowing with brilliant rosés and we're not even in full rosé season yet! Did you know that some wineries are so dedicated to the rosé lifestyle that they intentionally produce a rosé because they like it not because they want to make red wine seem more intense. Rosé season has become any season.
Rosé fever has reached such a pitch that some retailers are even looking to sell rosé before the wines are in bottles. We’ll discuss this phenomenon and many more subjects including:
Vintage
How long do rosés last?
Color
What do all these pinkish hues mean?
The Provence Wine Council organized a rosé color scale of acceptable colors, such as red currant, peach, grapefruit, melon, mango, and tangerine.
Providence
Are all rosé producers trying to emulate the "Provençal lifestyle"?
Price
Is there a sliding scale? How much is too much?
Intentional Rosés
Rosés are what they are. Or are they?
Embodiment
Should there be specific rosé criteria?
We're joined by special guests Thea Dwelle @Luscious_Lushes and Bob Barron @TheBobBarron film maker #TasteofRosé.
