This post features a selection of wines, with a focus on rosés and California wines.

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grape juice. It is produced by crushing and fermenting grapes, allowing the natural sugars in the grapes to convert into alcohol through the process of fermentation. The fermentation process is facilitated by yeast, which consumes the sugars and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as byproducts.

The end of May heralds a changing of the seasons. In the Southern Hemisphere, the grapes of the 2024 harvest are in the wineries, while in the Northern Hemisphere those vineyard owners who made it through the spring of 2024 without a blanket of killing frost breath sighs of relief.

Mentally, there is a change, too, with the Memorial Day weekend holiday.

In both hemispheres, a time of significant vintage milestones in the vineyards.

(And how many different white grapes can you name from Italy that begin with “V?”)
