00:00Don't judge a rosé by its color. A lot of people assume that pale rosé is the best,
00:05the driest, the most sophisticated, and they understand that. Pale rosé, often from Provence
00:09and France, is really popular in the United States, and for good reason. It's delicious,
00:13but it's not the only good rosé out there. One of the biggest misconceptions in wine is that dark
00:18rosé equals sweet. In fact, there's famous wine regions like Tavelle in France, Abruzzo in Italy
00:24that make gorgeous dry rosé that's a bit darker in color. Rosé gets its color from grape skins,
00:30so this deeper color rosé is simply because of more skin contact. Skin contact can affect body,
00:36texture, flavor, but not sugar. When I'm looking for rosé, I like something with a bit more
00:40personality, so this summer, I'm going with a darker one. Which rosé are you reaching for?
