The List of Rosé Wines Available at Rosé Soirée 2023
By Staff
Rosé Soirée, the kickoff of the Dan’s Taste Summer Series timed to coincide with the start of beach season on Memorial Day weekend, is a delightful gathering that calls for a glass of the perfect rosé wine.
So, what kind of wine will be served at a Rosé Soirée on May 28 at the Southampton Arts Center? Only the best rosés from the top wineries on the East End and around the world, of course.
First, it’s important to understand what rosé wine is. Rosé is a type of wine that is made from red grapes, but unlike red wine, the grape skins are removed after only a short amount of time, which gives it its signature pink color. Rosé can vary in style from sweet to dry and can be made from a variety of red grape varietals, including Grenache, Syrah and Pinot Noir.
Here are the rosés that some of the participating wineries will be pouring at the event.
