SOME SAY... HE CRUSHES PINOT NOIR IN HIS SOCKS AND THAT HE SMELLS OF VIOLETS AND CRUSHED GRAPHITE. ALL WE KNOW IS THAT HE IS THE WINE STIG...
RO
SÉ
ASK THE WINE STIG Why is rosé pink? Red grapes were used to make the wine and a wine gets its color from its skins. When the winemaker crushed the grapes, they allowed the skins to come into contact with the juice for only a brief time, thus the color is pink, instead of red. *information found at www.vinepair.com
