Which wines should you drink to celebrate the World Cup this summer?
Kansas City-based master sommelier Doug Frost joined KCUR’s Up To Date for a tasting, where he brought samples of wines from Austria, England and Argentina.
England and Argentina’s teams are based in the Kansas City metro during the World Cup, and Austria plays Algeria on June 27 at Arrowhead Stadium.
Here are the wines Frost brought to the KCUR studios:
- Schloss Gobelsberg Grüner Veltliner 2024 (Austria)
- Balfour Brut-Rose 2018 (England)
- Lamadrid Cabernet Franc 2022 (Argentina)
Frost also discussed wine fraud and answered the question: Is there such a thing as a good rosé?
The answer, put simply, is yes.
“When you have a dinner in the Champagne region, if they have a rosé, they are serving it with chicken or with fowl or with duck. They see it as a serious food wine,” Frost said.
