Wow it's summer. Yes I know it's been said so many times but this year has just flown by! Summer time - Rose! Am I right? Well I haven't been a fan of rose. I thought it was the wine of choice of giggly girls in the summer. As a tomboy I always chose either white or red. None of this pink silly stuff! How wrong I was. Rose can be fabulous in the summer. I stand corrected! Rose is not just Gallo White Zinfandel, there's a whole host of roses waiting to be tried!
I was planning on making some sushi for lunch today and so wanted a nice fresh wine to go with it, nothing fancy, just a nice crisp wine. I was thinking of a white, but was drawn to the Toro Loco Rose in Aldi.
At £3.79 this wine is a great price! Made from the Bobal grape and at 12% alcohol.
