Miami Life Awards By Gabriela Guerrero LA NUIT EN ROSÉ ARRIVES TO MIAMI By Gabriela Guerrero Rosé wine lovers had their own tasting event on Saturday, Jan 31, at the LA NUIT EN ROSÉ in South Beach. The event took place at the recently opened Miami Beach Edition, one of South Beach’s most affluent hotels. It brought over 60 rosé wines and Champagne to South Florida, making it the largest gathering of rosé producers in the world. Rosé wine was originally developed in the 1800s; it has since gained a category of its own due to its popularity in the wine community. Rosé wine uses a variety of red and white grapes. It is produced differently than red wine, and similar to white wine, even though it requires a longer maceration time at the beginning of the process. Maceration time is what affects the color in rosé wine. Attendants of LA NUIT EN ROSÉ had over 3 hours of unlimited access to rosé wines and champagne in the - perfectly decorated in a pinkish atmosphere – tasting area, a delectable full culinary experience in the ballroom, and a lively dancing space with music by Savannah Buffet with lounge seating & a photo booth. This world’s first Food & Wine Festival dedicated to Rosé Wine and Rosé Champagne was a success! It promises to return next year with an even more delicious culinary experience and an even wider selection of worldwide producers of the now fashionable know, Pink Wine. 30 Latin Times Magazine The 2nd Annual Fashion Night on Brickell was held on February 27 at the Espirito Santo Plaza in Miami.
