This week, we revisit a chat with Sara d'Amato, Toronto-based wine consultant, educator, sommelier, wine critic and principal partner with , who called in from Monaco. Sara breaks down why rosé deserves more than just "summer sipper" status: it's sustainable, versatile, and no longer just an afterthought in the winery. She shares how the style is evolving, that darker doesn't necessarily mean sweeter, and what to pair it with (from turkey to sashimi). Plus, ever tried frozen rosé ice cubes in your glass? You'll want to now. Tune in January 2-5!
