mike and I went into the liquor store to get some miller chill to take with us to the pool. when we walked into the liquor store, we walked right into the craziest wine tasting EVER!!! the wine was surprisingly delish, and? I learned some stuff! like: pinot grigio, the fruity white wine? is made from the same RED grape that pinot noir, the light, red wine, is made from! the reason pinot grigio is white, not red, is because it doesn’t touch the red skin when it’s bwig fermented. I also got to taste something I’ve never ever seen before! this particular vineyard i was tasting claims to be the only vineyard that supplies the US with it. so, what is this mystery drink? pinot grigio rosé, my friends. (how is it rosé?) I’m so glad you asked! during fermentation, the pinot grape is only allowed to touch the red skin for an hour. this gives it a pretty pink color and a tart, citrusy flavor. if you’re lucky enough to find a pinot grigio rosé, serve it chilled, just like you would a traditional pinot grigio. anyway, I was so excited about my new information, and had to share. now off to enjoy the pool and miller chill.
