FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Ros Revolution has arrived! To kick off the Summer-long celebration of dry, savoury Ros, many wineries and venues around Australia will be hosting parties and Tweet-ups next ThursdayNovember 10th.
Although these Ross are serious wines, we don’t need to take them too seriously, so a range of fun ‘Ros Soirees’ will take place. Dress in pink (optional), and taste away.
The Tweet Ups will allow wine lovers to taste a huge array of Ross, meet some of the winemakers and engage in a global Twitter discussion about their favourite styles. Just don’t forget to use the hashtag #roserev. If you’re not on twitter, it does not matter, come along and try some of Australia’s finest dry Ross.
Events will be happening throughout summer but see below for an outline of the great events in your city, open to all. If you can’t make it along to a venue on 10th November, but are on twitter, buy your favourite dry Ros (some suggested participants http://rosewinerevolution.com/supporters.html) and tweet along in the Australia wide tweet up from 7.30-9pm AEST using #roserev.
