Meghan Markle's Rosé Romance: Teasing New As Ever Release!
Meghan Markle Spills the Tea (and Wine) Ahead of Her 44th Birthday
As the Duchess of Sussex prepares to celebrate another year of life, she's giving her fans a sneak peek into her upcoming plans - and they're all about the rosé! Meghan Markle has dropped a tantalizing teaser for her lifestyle brand As Ever, showing off her summer vibes in a gorgeous garden setting.
The video, posted on the official As Ever Instagram page last night, features the Duchess frolicking in a lush green lawn, wearing a chic white dress and toting a wicker basket filled with flowers and bottles of her signature rosé. And let's just say she's brought the drama - with her engagement ring, wedding ring, and infinity ring (estimated to be worth around £210,000) shining brightly on her left hand.
But what really caught our attention was the wine itself. As Ever is launching its second Napa Valley Rosé, and it looks like a direct copycat of last year's bestseller - with some minor tweaks, of course. According to the brand, the new vintage will have "the same harmony of notes" as the previous one, so fans can expect more of the same smooth, slightly bland taste.
We know what you're thinking: is this really worth all the fuss? After all, the 2023 Napa Valley Rosé received lukewarm reviews from our team at The Scholarly Note.com. While it was described as "smooth," we found it to be lacking in flavor - and with some unpleasant acidic notes that left a bad taste (literally) in our mouths.
But don't just take our word for it! Meghan's fans are going wild, speculating about the new wine and when they'll get their hands on it. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to toast to a summer of joy with a glass (or three) of rosé?
The brand has promised that the 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available for purchase next week - although prices haven't been confirmed yet. Will you be adding a bottle (or two) to your collection? Let us know in the comments!
It's not just the wine that's got everyone buzzing, though. As Ever has announced another product launch (yes, we're counting the new rosé as a separate item!), and fans are speculating about what it might be. Will Meghan bring out a new line of teas, or maybe some gourmet food items? We can't wait to find out!
In the meantime, we've got a behind-the-scenes look at how As Ever's wine is made - and let's just say it's been a labor of love for Meghan and her team. According to the brand, their 2023 Napa Valley Rosé was created in collaboration with Fairwinds Estate, a California winery that specializes in bespoke wines for celebrities.
But what about the taste? We tried the rosé ourselves, and while it was smooth, we couldn't detect any of the promised notes of stone fruit. In fact, it tasted rather bland - almost like something you'd find at a work happy hour (not exactly the kind of vibe you want to associate with your Duchess's wine).
Despite our lukewarm review, Meghan's fans are still going wild for As Ever. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to drink a rosé that's been endorsed by a member of the royal family? After all, as the brand so aptly puts it: "Rosé colored glasses? Perhaps even better."
Stay tuned for more updates on Meghan's lifestyle brand - and don't forget to grab your glass (and bottle) when the new rosé drops next week!
