In 2017\, after visiting Georgia extensively over three years\, she published her large book\, Tasting Georgia\, A Food and Wine Journey in the Caucasus (winner of several awards\, including the Guild of Food Writer’s Food and Travel Award\, this book was ranked one of the six best travel books of the last decade by Newsweek). \nTo join this Zoom seminar\, please register now or at any time before 5pm BST on May 6th.

SUMMARY:CWW Let's talk ... all about rosé\, with Elizabeth Gabay MW\, Ben Bernheim and rosé producers
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to welcome Elizabeth Gabay MW and her son Ben Bernheim for a presentation that opens a series of 2025 events celebrating the complexity and beauty of rosé. \nLiz\, a CWW member\, and Ben have found themselves increasingly immersed in the world of rosé for the past seven years\, working with both producers and trade\, writing\, speaking and challenging perceptions of this often-underestimated wine. \nThis webinar will be an informal discussion where everyone can join in and discuss rosé. Liz and Ben will be joined by winemakers Georg Schweitzer\, from the new Austrian DAC Rosalia\, and Stefan Langmann and his daughter Verena Langmann from Weingut Langmann-Lex in Styria\, an area known for its Sauvignon Blancs and high-acid Wildbacher Schilcher rosés. Producers from Maremma\, in southern Tuscany\, and Greece will also take part. \nThis Let’s talk about… presentation precedes a series of face-to-face UK events in celebration of rosé. The first is Drink Pink Wednesday\, a London tasting of 200+ rosés on June 18th\, which\, says Liz\, could be both a dream day and a nightmare. There will be seven European national and regional tables plus independent producers. To highlight the scope of rosé there will be dry\, sweet\, sparkling\, fortified\, low alcohol\, natural versions\, plus masterclasses. \nLater happenings include a Fine Rosé Day tasting featuring rare vintages and niche rosés\, and Rosé as Fine Wine?\, a debate and vintage rosé tasting. Running alongside is the annual Rosé Writing Competition\, inviting submissions of blog posts\, articles\, and books published between August 2024 and August 2025. \nFor event inquiries\, contact events@pink.wine. More information is at pink.wine/events.
