Summer is the season of frizzy hair and bug bites and grass allergies, yes. But more importantly, summer is the season of rosé, that delightful pink wine with undertones of a li'l citrus, a li'l floral, and a li'l red fruit. Ideal, honestly. Didn't think it could be improved upon. But I have news for you: Rosé wine chocolate exists, and, uh, yeah. That may be an improvement.
Rosé gets its special pink color from the skins of grapes. The less time they spend touching the wine, the less red the wine becomes. Rosé is just, like, a little kiss of grape skins: Delicate. Nuanced. Very, very pink. I think of it as a princess drink, but obviously anyone is free to drink it as long as they are legal age, regardless as to whether they feel like a princess.
And now, Los Angeles-based gourmet chocolate company Compartés has brought us the "Roses & Rosé" bar, a truly delightful-sounding blend of white chocolate and rosé which has been lovingly topped topped with edible crystalized rose petals. (Yes, crystalized rose petals.) This treat currently retails for $9.95 a bar — and even better, it's available for purchase even if you don't live in California, thanks to the wonders of the internet. You can order it online from Compartés' website; thus far, at least, it has yet to be sold out, although knowing what I currently know about how the world has clamored after rosé-flavored things this summer, I would advise acting fast.
