Think Pink: All Things Rosé 41:42

5 days ago41:42

41:42

Today, we’re diving into one of our favorite styles of wine: rosé! This style of wine has become increasingly popular over the past decade. Rosé wines have a long history of existence, but after decades of a downhill spiral, it now seems like every wine brand has a rosé wine. Want to know what goes into crafting a rosé wine? We covered it! Want to reveal those traditional rosé wine styles? We will! And, what can you, the consumer, expect when you open up the bottle? It’s time to put some truth behind modern misconceptions about rosé wine as we all lean into “thinking pink” in this episode!

From Forest to Barrel, and How Oak Influences Wine 31:42

Did you know that it takes between 105 and 180 years before a tree is harvested for a wine barrel? No? Neither did we! As we continue our conversation with Gina Shay, Sales Representative for the Greater USA and Canada through Trust Cooperage, Gina explains to us how wine barrels are made: from tree to barrel. We also get a thorough explanation on why those grain differences matter and how flavor changes based on the cooperage. Once the barrel is made, Gina gave us details on how winemakers can best approach barrel selection for their wines. Plus, Gina finally answers the question for us that we get asked every year: is there gluten in wine that comes from wine barrels?
