So exactly what is a blush? A blush is simply White Zinfandel. Most people refer to this wine as blush because of its light, pinkish color. Also known as a Rose', it is a sweet and light wine that works well for anyone experimenting with their first glass or bottle.
Beringer White Zinfandel, from California, is a perfectly fine bottle to start with. Know going in however, that this is probably not a wine you want to have while enjoying a hearty steak or a bold pasta dish. To have as an aperitif (an alcoholic beverage to have before a meal) or to enjoy on a hot day would be perfect.
White Zinfandel is made from the red Zinfandel grape and finished with residual sugar which makes it a sweet, ready to drink wine. Sutter Home Winery is credited for discovering White Zinfandel in the 70's by accident. As they were making one of their premium red Zinfandels there was a fermentation problem. The "problem wine" was set aside and a few weeks later the winemaker tasted it and loved the sweet pink wine. White Zinfandel was born.
