Bordeaux´s white past - Falstaff The unknown history of Bordeaux – and why dry whites are coming back into focus in the UK.

For the wine nerds: Bordeaux used to be mostly white. Like ~60% in the 1950s. Then frost combined with profit seeking combined with changing consumer preferences led to a red takeover.

We talk about "underdog" wines a lot. Rosé d'Anjou was huge in the 80s but lost its cool factor to Provence. But recently, quality has skyrocketed thanks to modern tech like reverse osmosis which removes water to concentrate the juice.

If you are planning a spicy dinner for Valentine's Day (think Thai curry or Indian Vindaloo), Rosé d'Anjou is the cheat code. The slight sweetness acts like a fire extinguisher for the heat, while the acidity cuts right through the coconut milk or rich sauces.

Rosé d'Anjou is made primarily from a grape called "Grolleau." WTF is Grolleau, you ask? The name actually comes from the French word for "crow" because the berries are famously dark black.

Rosé d'Anjou: The Rosé for Red Wine Drinkers Dive into the world of Rosé d'Anjou, a flavorful rosé from Loire that defies expectations and pairs wonderfully with food.

If you think all Rosé is the same, you need to try Rosé d'Anjou. Unlike the pale, boring wines from Provence that everyone drinks, this style from the Loire Valley is "off-dry" (slightly sweet) and tasty. GO HAWKS!!!
