I have it on the best authority that the Byrne men aren't always the most romantic of characters (I should know, I am married to one of them!), but they do know how to choose a seductive wine or two. Pink is traditionally a colour of romance but rose wines vary so dramatically through every hue matching so many foods so wonderfully. A rose wine enjoyed at this time of year also manages to hint that spring may be only just around the corner.
