This week we deviate away from the grapevine and explore another beverage, a spirit that reports are showing is the NEW way to a woman’s heart included in the traditional flowers, candles and chocolate. Believe it or not, it is Bourbon. Yes its true, just recently Business Week Magazine attributed this phenomenon to a group of professional women, “The Bourbon Women” who have become quite enamored with Kentucky’s sweet spirit and are hosting bourbon tasting parties in major cities across North America. So joining us in studio this week on The Wine Ladies TV to give us the scoop on this phenomena and the new woman’s movement is Kentucky’s own Bourbon expert, Master Distiller for Four Roses Bourbon, Jim Rutledge.

The Legend of Four Roses

It began when Paul Jones, Jr., the founder of Four Roses Bourbon, became smitten by the beauty of a Southern belle. It is said that he sent a proposal to her, and she replied that if her answer were “Yes,” she would wear a corsage of roses on her gown to the upcoming grand ball. Paul Jones waited for her answer excitedly on that night of the grand ball!when she arrived in her beautiful gown, she wore a corsage of four red roses. He later named his Bourbon “Four Roses” as a symbol of his devout passion for the lovely belle, a passion he thereafter transferred to making his beloved Four Roses Bourbon.

Rose wine

The rise of the rosé. Think pink for summer

/0 Comments/in /by

 

The rise of the rosé. The Wine Ladies suggest you think Pink for summer. Think pink indeed, and we’re not talking Giorgio Armani or Dolce & Gabana. Although we are referring to what’s in fashion, it’s not what you’re wearing, but what’s in your wine glass. Rosés ,or rosé style wines, and that includes sparkling rosé, are enjoying a much deserved revival, with recent years showing the world going wild for these ever popular pink wines. Occupying prime real estate both on wine lists and on store shelves, these blushing “bevies” are making a comeback. Although they have at times been thought of as inferior wines or pop wines, times are a changing, so crack open a refreshingly crisp and aromatic rosé, and join us on our vinous journey exploring the power of pink. Why is everything coming up roses now you may ask? The sweeter, cloying days of former rosé are gone, with a plethora of wonderfully, crisp, fresh and dry wines being produced in many parts of the wine-growing world. Improved wine making equipment and wine making techniques have played a significant role, with the new rosés showing vibrant aromas, flavors and good structure. Pick your variety, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Zinfandel or Cabernet just to name a few, or select your rosé according to colour, from a pale salmon hue to deep neon pink. The possibilities are endless. Rosés are the perfect wine for spring and summer, easily approachable and lighter bodied, served chilled making a perfect accompaniment to a variety of warm weather fare.  Also able to serve double duty, rosés can satisfy one’s mood for either a light red or a heftier white.
