Flight 6 -- A Rose is a Rose Flight $10

...but a rose' is "white". Rose' wines are pink wines. Although rose' wines are made from red grapes, the wines aren't red because the grape juice is left in contact with the red skins for a very short time - only a few hours, compared to days or weeks for red wines. Because this skin contact is brief, very little tannin is absorbed from the skins in rose' wines. Therefore, you can chill rose' wines and drink them as you would white wines.
