What to Eat with Rosé?

Hello everyone

In last blog, we talked about Rosé.  Another issue is What to eat with Rosé?

Think about both the weather and the cooking style of your food. Chilled rosé is thirst-quenching in the summer heat. White wine is a natural go-to during the summer, but sometimes the depth and tannic structure of a rosé pairs better with the season's dishes than the typical aromas of apple and citrus, so commonly found in many white wines.

The food pairing possibilities for rosé are almost endless. What follows is a selective listing of dishes readers will encounter on restaurant menus or can prepare at home. Wherever served, it is almost certain that these dishes when paired with rosé will enhance your pleasure.


Anything grilled 

We generally reach for a bold red when grilling, especially when red meat is on the menu. Rosé offers up these same red grape varietals, while made in a much more refreshing, seasonally appropriate style.


Mediterranean cuisine 

The winemakers in Provence, the birthplace of rosé, originally made rosé as a way to enjoy their red wine grapes during the hot summer months. Rosé is the classic pairing for Mediterranean food.


Mexican fare 

This often tricky-to-pair cuisine is many times too spicy for red wine and too intense for white wine. Rosé can complement the rich, roasted ingredients and tomato sauces wonderfully.
