If you’ve ever despaired at the cultural wedge that the world of wine insists on driving between the great and the good and the rest of us, consider your troubles over: Meghan Markle has made her latest contribution to the world with a Californian rosé named As Ever. A fund for the homeless or school building programme is surely in the pipeline.
It's a peculiar choice, given that her blog, The Tig, was named after Markle's favourite wine, Tignanello — a red. But this new Napa Valley juice is, press material insists, characterised by a flavour profile of stone fruit and gentle minerality. It has the required lasting finish, and is a Goldilocks blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot grapes. It is “infused with joy and whimsy,” said Markle. Who needs a WSET qualification when you can just say things like this?
