  • The Rosé Renaissance
    Feb 6 2025

    Send a Text Message to The Kosher Terroir

    Join me, Simon Jacob, as we uncork the rich and vibrant tale of rosé wine, from its ancient origins to its sophisticated status in Greek and Roman times, and onward to its revival as a symbol of laid-back luxury. We journey through the vineyards of Provence where monastic winemakers crafted wines close to today's rosés, and explore how regions like Israel and the United States are producing exceptional kosher rosés, showcasing the adaptability and artistry behind this beloved wine.

    We'll traverse the fascinating evolution of rosé, from its golden era in 17th century France to its misunderstood phase in the 20th century, culminating in its recent renaissance spearheaded by Provençal producers. Discover the innovative winemaking techniques emerging from the Golan Heights in Israel and hear captivating stories, including the serendipitous origins of rosé and its role in the world's first rosé festival. By the end of our exploration, you'll also have a new appreciation for rosé's surprising food pairings, proving its versatility beyond the expected—think spicy dishes and even fried chicken. Whether you're a seasoned rosé aficionado or just beginning to explore its vibrant world, there's something here for you to savor and enjoy.
