Wine of the Week: Liquid Farm 2014 Rosé Mourvédre

With the earlier half of the week being gloriously sweltering (for me, the hotter the better, except for on my long run days), choosing a cold rosé was a must for brunch at Steel & Rye, which has been one of our favorite restaurants for more than two years now.

This time I had a date with two former co-workers who I have missed since I took the leap back into Communications Consulting, and the wine is what the winemakers refer to as #PinkCrack. It’s name is well-earned!

This 2014 Liquid Farm Rosé Mourvèdre is so perfectly refreshing and perfect with brunch food like this yummy ham, tomato, and asparagus omelet I had. It’s dry and tart, with notes of white peach, plum, and raspberry and a mineral-y finish. It’s also a beautiful pale pink color that always makes me think of my pointe shoes, elegant, satiny, and one of my first loves.

This wine would go well with a pool, a patio, or the beach, and for food pairings, according to Liquid Farm’s website, it goes well with everything but cereal. I am willing to try it with as many food pairings as possible to find out.

Have you been loving rosé this summer? We have been huge fans of dry rosé year round for many years, but it seems to be particularly trendy this year!
