Finger Lakes Wine Country is renowned for its world-class aromatic white wine like Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer. The region also makes delicately balanced red wines from Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Lemberger. So it isn’t surprising that the region also makes some outstanding rosés made from these grapes. Classic rosé wines are made from red grapes, have minimal skin contact making them taste more like white wines with a hint of color, and are dry in style. Rosés are best served with a slight chill and are perfect for summer sipping and outdoor dinners.
This summer we are hosting a summer promotion, “In Search of the Perfect Rosé”, to encourage visitors to discover these tasty wines. There are over 30 wineries in the Finger Lakes that make rosé wines and we are encouraging you to explore these wineries and search for your favorite rosé wine. While classic rosés are dry, you will discover in the Finger Lakes that they are produced in many different sweetness styles. The perfect rosé is the wine you enjoy the most.
Share your adventures on our Facebook fanpage. Upload pictures, videos, and stories from now until August 31, 2009. The wine that receives the most mentions will be awarded with the “perfect rosé award” and the person who submits the best story will receive a case of wine of his/her favorite rosé.
Cheers to the perfect rosé!
