Piquette
may be a more familiar name for old world wine drinkers, but this classic and
simple Parisian style beverage really hits the spot on those warm afternoons.
What is this type of wine you might ask? This very “old” style drink from
ancient Greek/Roman days is crafted from the second press of grape pomace - like
the pulp, skins, seeds, and stems (aka leftovers). Although technically not
wine, no reason not to enjoy this with your favorite Rosé pairings. At just 7% abv, this off-beat wine has a very
light ruby color and fresh strawberries and cherries on the nose. It has some
high acids and little to no finish, but boy does it refresh the palate when
served chilled on a hot day. This very
light style beverage might be your next go-to drink after working around the ponderosa
all day. A fun find worth the try for those wanting to expand their wine and
beverage experiences. Santé!
