I recently introduced myself at a wine tasting as a '365 rosé girl'.
Sipping the pink drink poolside or at a beach club
with friends in warmer climates is what we dream of on these grey winter days.
But our darling rosé isn't just a summer fling - it's an effortless crowd-pleaser that
will delight palates over the festive season just as it does
in the sun.
As the wine expert of the family, I've been steadily introducing new
traditions in the vino department over the last few years.
The most controversial - now fully embraced by our multi-generational table of
drinkers - is a magnum of rosé served with our beetroot and gin-cured
salmon starter, perfected by my dad, on Christmas Day.
It's the perfect middle ground for those who don't enjoy an oaky white, squirm at an aromatic Sauvignon Blanc,
brace themselves for the acidity of other crisp styles, or generally 'just drink red'.
Rosé isn't just a summer fling, says wine expert Charlotte Kristensen
The British choice is typically a Provence-style pale pink: elegant, fresh, with just the right level of juiciness.
However, don't shy away from rosé wines with a bit more colour at
Christmas.
Certain Spanish styles and deeper-hued French options (see my
picks below) are dry and often have more bite than their pale counterparts.
A deep colour doesn't necessarily mean sweetness (unless you're looking at bottom-shelf White Zinfandel à la Barefoot).
If you're not sure what foods to pair rosé with,
my advice would be to 'think pink': serve your blush wines with pink-tinged dishes.
Below, I've listed five of my favourite festive pairings to try this season, with my rosé
recommendations starting at just £5.59.
Pick up a copy of Charlotte Kristensen's debut book,
Wine: Taste Pair Pour, at Amazon, Waterstones and
all major bookstores.
The best food and rosé pairings to try this Christmas
Salmon: Rosé wines cut through the rich, smoky, and
oily textures of smoked salmon, while their silky texture and delicate flavours
create a harmonious pairing with cured salmon.
Cured meats: Prosciutto, Jamón Ibérico, salami, and similar cured
meats are flavourful, salty, and fatty, making them a perfect match for the crispness of rosé, which
provides a vibrant lift.
Pomegranate salad: This pairing plays on the red fruit notes found in both rosé and pomegranate, creating a light, lively, and festive
match.
Lobster, prawn and crab: The succulent, subtly sweet, and salty-mineral flavours of
shellfish are complemented by rosé wines, which echo and
enhance these delicate attributes.
Glazed ham: Rosé is a delightful match for the meaty, honeyed flavours of glazed ham, offering a bright, crisp counterpoint to
this rich and satisfying Christmas favourite.

AP Interview: Wade ready for his Chicago challenge

MIAMI (AP) — It's not like Dwyane Wade has never dealt with change before.
He played for three head coaches in 13 seasons with the Miami Heat, helped orchestrate one
of the most scrutinized free-agent hauls in NBA history when LeBron James and Chris Bosh came to play alongside him,
and had 112 teammates along the way.
So going into a new locker room doesn't figure to overwhelm him.
Wade's first official day of work with an NBA team
other than Miami comes on Monday, when he goes to media
day on the eve of his first training camp with the Chicago Bulls — the team
he grew up rooting for, a club he has faced off against 64 times as
an opponent and now the franchise he'll be asked to help lead.
"It's going to be difficult, 100 percent. I'm fine with it, though," Wade said in an interview with The Associated Press.
"For me, it goes back to the whole challenge thing. It's not like I haven't done this before. At the end of the day we're all wearing the same jersey right now and we have to come together, just like any team. And that's going to be tough."
Wade left Miami this summer in a move that shocked the Heat.
He took a two-year deal worth about $47 million from the Bulls, who came in offering a bit
more than what the Heat were able to promise. He leaves Miami as
one of two players who were on all three Heat championship teams — Udonis Haslem is the other — and as the franchise leader in points by an enormous
margin.
But now he changes addresses, changes colors and
in many ways is starting over. So are the Heat, who won't have
him and will go into the season without Bosh — still sidelined by the blood-clot problem that ended each of his last two seasons,
an issue that now seems to be putting any plans he has for a return to the court
in major jeopardy.
Wade said he still wants the very best for Bosh. He'll just have to send those wishes from afar now, while he
gets ready to embrace his own challenge of meshing with
Jimmy Butler, Rajon Rondo and the rest of the Bulls.
"When I don't have anything else left to prove, then I don't need to play the game of basketball,"
Wade said. "I want to prove I'm out of my comfort zone. I'm in a totally different environment, a totally different system. This is a challenge for me, at this stage of my career. Leave it up to me to put myself in a challenge and not just fade to black in the comfortableness of Miami."
Wade turns 35 in January, and answered plenty of questions about his supposed durability issues last year.
He played in 74 games for Miami, got lighter and leaner to take pressure off his
knees and hamstrings, averaged 19 points a game and was an All-Star
for the 12th consecutive season.
He's not the Wade who led the league in scoring in 2009,
or was NBA Finals MVP in 2006.
He does, however, think he's smarter than ever.
"There's no risk for me," Wade said. "It's basketball. It's just a sport, man. And I'm pretty good at it. I know the game and I've put in so much work in this sport, everything right now is just the cherry on top of the whipped cream." -
