Meghan Markle's 'As Ever' Rosé Wins Celebrity Wine Taste Test

Celebrity Rosé Blind Taste Test

• 🍷 A panel of New York City wine experts conducted a blind taste test of celebrity-owned rosés.
• 🎯 The wines tasted included offerings from Meghan Markle ('As Ever'), Cameron Diaz ('Avalene'), Sarah Jessica Parker ('Invivo'), Jon and Jesse Bon Jovi ('Hampton Water'), and Brad Pitt ('Miral').

Expert Tasting Notes

• 🥂 The first wine (later identified as SJP's Invivo) was described as approachable, with soft medium acid, a nice finish, light fruit, and good minerality, suitable as a poolside wine.
• 🍋 Another wine (later identified as Miral) was noted for its higher acidity, herbaceiousness, and potential for pairing with food, though it was considered less refreshing.
• 🥭 Wine number three, which emerged as the standout, was praised for its tropical fruit notes, nice acidity with roundness, richness, complexity, and hints of cherry or red fruit on the finish, with some speculating about oak.
• 🌊 Hampton Water (wine four) was described as refreshing, crisp, with hints of strawberry and melon, and deemed a good poolside option.
• 🌸 The final wine was perceived as more muted, less acidic, and one-dimensional, a crowd-pleaser but lacking complexity and memorability.

The Big Reveal and Verdict
