A worldwide consumer guide to the best rose winemakers have to offer. No longer grandma's syrupy sweet tipple, the new roses are setting a new trend and winning hearts and palates with their dry, lively, fruit flavour.

We aren't talking about your American grandmother's rosé here. Not even close.

Authors of the bestselling wine books Season in Spain and Classic Wines of the Napa Valley, Larry and Ann Walker, travel the pink road tasting dry and lively wines and talking to winemakers, in regions known for rosé, and those about to be, to give us the first global buyers guide to world-class pink wines.

And for rosé-loving cooks, Chef Ann offers several dozen recipes that perfectly compliment pink wine.

Book features:

• Rates over 200 wines from around the globe, and gives detailed tasting notes
• Wines and Producers Indexes for easy in-store selection
• Pink Primer: rose history, and methods employed to make pink wine
• Pink Profiles: Discussions with producers from the U.S.A., France, Iberian Peninsula, South Africa, and beyond
• A case of quality for value
• Dozens of rose friendly recipes
