Pour It Right

Uncork the bottle, hold it a few inches above the nose of the glass, and pour it into the center of the glass. Not caressing the sideways, but the center of the glass. Once the glass is half full, tilt the bottle and rotate the bottle to avoid dripping.

Nose It, Take A Sip, And Relish It

Smell the rosé, identify the fruit, and the sweet notes, and then slowly take a generous sip. Rosé is super smooth, so it won’t numb your palate, instead, you will feel a warm sensation on your tastebuds. Once you’ve allowed yourself to taste it, swallow it to realize how damned smooth it is.
