Weekend wine with Blake Creedon

Yes, we will have a summer.

There’s no better accompaniment to that feeling of warm sunshine on your skin than a glass of rosé wine. Of course you can drink pink any time of year — but it just feels so right on those long warm summer evenings.

The pink sector of the market is dominated by just one style — sweetish Californian blush zinfandel. Consumed in great quantities and represented by a handful of big brand names, blush is often derided as being no better than pop by many wine fans.
