It’s only recently that I got into Rosés. Being an absolute White Zinfadel hater, I admit to being hesitant to trying anything that even looks similar to that nasty pink business.

Havana Rose was one of the first Rosés I ever sampled, and for the most part, I was pretty impressed. (Granted, my hopes for this product weren’t too lofty. When I purchased it, the bottles of Havana Rose were pathetically piled in a shopping cart, on sale for $4 each. It would seem my neighborhood’s trusty liquor store owner just couldn’t unload them. But then, most of his customers are just there for the 40s and sangria in a box.) But I digress. Havana Rose tastes almost Pinot Grigio-like — quite zingy, but also reminiscent of grapefruit. The taste is heady enough to be paired with anything from pasta to meats. Its other properties — the gorgeous sunset color and legs that go all the way up (sorry if I sound like a construction worker) are also worth noting.
