Here are the things we discuss in the show:
Then we get into the nuts and bolts of ros\\xe9
\\u201cWe love rose\\u0301. We love its diversity, its complexity, and the infinite combinations of terroir, grape variety, vintage variation and winemaking that we find around the world. Many people think we\\u2019re crazy. They see rose\\u0301 as a pale pink lightly alcoholic swimming pool tipple that somehow tastes better if you\\u2019re wearing a bikini. That isn\\u2019t what this book is about. \\u201c
