Alliance Française Wine School: The Art of Rosé

Alliance Française Wine School – The Art of Rosé
In Partnership with Spec's Wine, Spirits & Finer Foods

Celebrate the final days of summer with an evening dedicated to one of France's most beloved wine styles: rosé.

While Provence has earned worldwide recognition as the birthplace of the world's most iconic rosé wines, this curated tasting will also explore exceptional rosés from other French wine regions, highlighting the diversity, elegance, and craftsmanship that make rosé so much more than a seasonal favorite.

Guided by Certified Sommelier James Barlow, guests will discover the grape varieties, winemaking techniques, and regional traditions that shape each wine while learning what makes French rosé unique. From crisp and mineral-driven to rich and expressive, each pour tells the story of a different terroir.

With over 20 years at Spec's Wine, Spirits & Finer Foods, James Barlow is a Certified Wine Educator, Certified Specialist of Spirits, and one of only 200 Bourgogne Wines Ambassadors worldwide.

Whether you're a devoted rosé enthusiast or simply looking to enjoy a sophisticated summer evening, The Art of Rosé promises an unforgettable experience of exceptional wines, expert guidance, and convivial conversation at the Alliance Française de Houston.
