Rosé Vintage Comparison

We tasted both vintages of Rose along with some Oysters and Dungeness crab at Taylor’s Shellfish in Seattle to determine which vintage is preferred the 2021 or the 2022 by customers.

The food pairing was an excellent complement to wines. The Dungeness crab was particularly delicious and the consensus was that Totten Inlet Virginica Oyster were preferable to the brinier Kumamoto. The Oysters were served with shaved horseradish and mignonette. And the creaminess of the Virginica and Dungeness complemented the wines well.

Mukund liked the 2022, he like the aromatics and the delicate flavor and commented that it would be his preference for tasting. Fenny liked the 2021, he felt that it was a bit more food friendly. After some discussion we achieved the kind of consensus friends reach after a couple of bottles of wine.

Taylor’s shellfish is a great place for seafood and wine pairing and a great spot to conduct an impartial taste test. I highly recommend it as a place to hang out with friends and serves as a reminder that a single glass of wine can light up the world.
