Review

“I remember when wine connoisseurs couldn’t be in the same room with a bottle of rosé. Now rosé is not only acceptable -- it’s hip! Rosé deserves it’s own book, especially one written with such style, a book that can be enjoyed by beginner and professional alike.” (Kermit Lynch, author of ADVENTURES ON THE WINE ROUTE and owner of Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant)“James gives us a long-overdue book on rosé...Well done.” (Ed McCarthy, author of the WINE FOR DUMMIES series)“James captures the twists and turns, highs and lows and sheer accidents that led to rosé‘s place in the world today. The book is studded with morsels that will delight both the everyday drinker and the career sommelier...You’ll never look at pink wine the same again!” (Leiti Hsu, show host, WORD OF MOUTH, Writer, Town & Country)“Wine wunderkind Victoria James takes readers through a refreshing and delightful journey through all the delights of drinking pink. A long-overdue book on rosé... Well done.” (Bianca Bosker, author of CORK DORK)“Written by sommelier Victoria James with beautiful illustrations by Lyle Railsback, Drink Pink covers the history, process of making, and cultural appeal of rosé — and argues that drinkers should enjoy it all year round (we’re in).” (Bust.com)“James, the sommelier at Piora in New York, offers a crisp introduction . . . The book is studded with illustrations by Lyle Railsback...a gifted artist.” (The Street)“In her new book...James celebrates the revival of critical and consumer interest in these wines — leaving the dark days of inexpensive and over-sweetened brands like Lancers, and the white zinfandel apocalypse of the 80s, far behind . . . You’ll learn all the essentials.” (Forbes.com)“Ramp up your rosé IQ.” (Food & Wine)“Especially with Lyle Railsback’s pretty illustrations, sommelier Victoria James’s charming book is as enticing as the drink that inspired it.” ( Coastal Living’s 50 Best Books for the Beach This Summer)“Nothing is more liberating than relaxing into what you love without so much as a care as to what others may think. That’s the gist behind James’ unabashed elation for rosé and her rationalization as to why it deserves a heck of a lot more respect than it gets.” (Leite’s Culinaria)

What a fantastic book! This is the PERFECT gift for anyone who loves wine, pink, or cute, sweet books for their shelves! Also, perfect for those who really want to learn more about an often overlooked type of wine. Definitely go buy this for all your friends and family!!I've never given too much thought to rose wine before, until I picked this book up! I learned so much and had to go out and find some of her recommendations to drink. I love Victoria James' style of writing, her voice, and how knowledgeable she is while at the same time making it easy for someone like me to understand! I also adored the illustrations--so cute and funny!

Victoria's has such a fun writing style and I am loving it so far. The illustrations are fun and quirky! I am a huge lover of rosé but admit I never really knew anything about it - thanks to Victoria, that has now changed! Also, I had never thought to use rosé in recipes, but am now going to stock up on some bottles so I can try them all... who would've thought that rosé soup was a thing? Hoping to make it soon! Thanks Victoria!!!

This is a little trifle of a book, perfect for a wine enthusiast with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. There are some fascinating tidbits about the history of Rose here and Victoria James' voice is perfect in this blushing ode to our favorite pink drink.The recipes seem tacked on, but the body of the book is worth the price of admission.

I love to learn about wine and I love rosé. Good news - this book is those two things married together in a fascinating and funny read. The illustrations are beautiful and I love the recipes in the back. There are so many good ways to cook with rosé, I can't wait to try a number of them!

Fantastic Book! Unpretentious and informative. Shows the versatility of rose wine and provides yummy cocktail and food recipes. The illustrations are a surprising and welcome addition to this wonderful book!

Somewhat limited but worth owning. I like the recipes.

LOVE this book! bought one for a thank you gift and one for me :) Great way to learn about Rose' wines and great writing, not dry at all for an informational book! Highly recommend.

“Drink Pink” author Victoria James.This book is subtitled “a celebration” and that’s quite precisely the impression it left with me. I had been eagerly awaiting its release, having previously read brilliant magazine articles by this author, and had preordered my copy of “Drink Pink” long before the publication date. Once it was finally published and in my hands I devoured it in about two hours. It completely held me enthralled even though I myself (full disclosure), am a complete teetotaler, and have no knowledge of alcohol. “Drink Pink” is not intended as a heavy studious tome on oenology, (It is not supposed to be solid wine literature.) This little book is, instead, an affectionate tribute to one particular wine, the often overlooked rose wine. The author mentions that she purposely did not include “complicated French classifications put in place during the 1800’s or rules governing vineyard management”. The biography at the back of the book lists the author’s considerable experience, ace skills and impressive achievements, all of which renders her indeed amply qualified to competently discuss any aspect of viticulture. That, however, is not the purpose of this particular book. She is instead sharing joy. “This is what wine is about, pleasure and simplicity”, is how she encapsulates it. This is a sommelier who simply loves her craft and has kept her joy undiminished, even during the toil and grind that can sometimes cause other sommeliers to burn out. An "Ode To Joy" comes to mind.The toil is no small matter. The life of a sommelier involves studying exhaustively and continuously. Having once watched a documentary on the world of wine and sommeliers (quite knackered, tasting up to one hundred wines a day and describing each one meticulously), I came away from the film with the impression of toil, joyless, labourious and arduous toil. What a pleasure it was instead then, to see in this book that there is magic and joy to be found. Not to mention some jolly good recipes as well.Rose wine is finally given its “fair do’s” as the expression goes, in this delightful book, and one can only hope that this is just the first of many more books from this author.Her word choice is lighthearted and informal (“stuff” is used frequently for instance), and therefore embracing to all walks of life, regardless of one’s knowledge (or lack of knowledge about wine). The author uses some affectionate terms, “our little grape friends” and also terms that convey her opinion of poor quality rose wine (“pink bathwater” or ‘pink swill”). Wine is most often described as delicious in flavour, but sometimes certain wines can be great magic or they might be soulless, and a rubbish wine she bluntly labels as “a disaster”. Certain grapes can be “fun grapes” apparently, unbeknownst to me. If one is hewing to tradition they might be said to be “kicking it old school” among other whimsical terms used here. She has a particular affection for the South of France, describing it as a beautiful place and encouraging her readers to “Let a glass of wine transport you there, and as often as possible.”Different chapters in the book describe the history of rose wine, how it is made, as well as the locations of “where the good stuff grows”. I was surprised to learn that American is second, after France, in drinking the most rose wine. Nor had I realized that the pigment colouring of wine comes from the skin of the grape, not its pulp.Perhaps my only one small quibble with this book was that although a great deal of wine terminology was (thankfully!) explained for the layman, (Skittle bottle, Gris style, stuck fermentation, an NV bottle, chef de cave, terroir, “Bleeding off the wine”, oxidized, petillant, Indigenous yeast versus manufactured yeast), unfortunately a few other wine related terms in this otherwise layman-friendly book were not. I had to look up petanque court, yannin, and phenolic ripening and I still remain rather mystified about exactly what is meant when a wine has “an overwhelming wild note.”Recipes are also featured in this book, including dishes that pair well with rose wine or are cooked with rose wine. Although I’m by no means a foodie, the recipes were intriguing to me. Octopus is an integral ingredient in one recipe. You are to use over three pounds of it, and one must be most careful to use mostly the tentacles. Another recipe ,if you don’t fancy octopus, features hay roasted lamb, cooked whilst ensconced in the centre of a nest of, yes, hay.The smashing illustrations fit the lighthearted tone of this book beautifully, quirky and full of whimsy. They range from great pen and ink portraits of various individuals, including Ernest Hemingway, to delightful watercolour maps. (Really great maps!) I particularly loved the watercolour of a lemon next to a chicken. Perhaps the most comical was a humorous depiction of a wonky bed bug (painted as, well, as a bug in a bed). This insect was pivotal to the plot though, since he kept one individual awake who then came up with industry-changing ideas in the middle of the night. Other witty designs featured an octopus with a wine glass and a salmon with a cigar. The illustrator also painted one simple Granny Smith apple, found on page 33, that I found really impressive.This author brings particular individuals across the globe vividly to life as well. In one case a particularly spry pensioner is described, ”ninety-nine years old and still a firecracker, as are her wines.” On another page we meet a Corsican vineyard owner, a chap who will blast Corsican polyphonic songs through the vineyard because, as he explained,” it keeps the vines happy.”This was a delightful book, full of joie de vivre, that I heartily recommend to especially the layman and those interested in discovering an often overlooked treasure, rose wine.
