Meet The Unique Personalities Of Pinot Grigio And Roussanne Grapes

August 23, 2011

Y’all know my girl Kelly Rowland, right? Practically raised by the Knowles family from the age of eight, paired with Matthew Knowles’ aspiring diva daughter Beyonce and a couple of other local girls to form a Supremes-style R&B girl group that would go on to become Destiny’s Child, the only member of Destiny’s Child (other than Beyonce, of course) not to be replaced…you know her, right? You may not know her name exactly, or you may not know her face, but you probably know one or the other, right? Right. So, now that Destiny’s Child is broken up, what’s she been doing with herself, you might ask? A lot, as it turns out. Remember that way back in 2002, (hey, it’s Destiny’s Child history we’re talking about; it doesn’t go that far back) she planted the seeds for her own solo career with her hit collaboration with Nelly (remember him?) on his
track “Dilemma.” She’s dropped a couple of solo albums that have had a few hits on them (nothing to compare to Beyonce, though), and she’s been collaborating with a wide variety of acts – from rappers Eve and Trina to emo rockers Gym Class Heroes to French DJ David Guetta and Gallic crooner Nadiya to Italian singer Tiziano Ferro – hoping to expand her international presence and popularity and make a real name for herself. But she’s also not just about music these days. She got the acting bug guest-starring on television shows like “The Hughleys,” “Eve,” “Girlfriends,” and “American Dreams” and managed to turn those stints into lead roles in movies like Freddy vs. Jason and The Seat Filler. And of course, now she’s got her highest-profile gig and most bizarre collaboration yet, as co-host of Bravo’s Project Runway knock-off “The Fashion Show” with Isaac Mizrahi. But you know all this, right?
And of course, you already know Roussanne (ROO-sahn or roo-SAHN; either way is correct), right? White grape originally grown in the Rhone valley of France, got its name because “roux” is the French word for the reddish-brown russet color of the grapes, typically referred to only in the context of other Rhone white grapes, paired up with Marsanne in the white wines of several northern Rhone appellations while still being overshadowed by the far-more prized Viognier. Well, Roussanne is trying to do its own thing too, break out from the group its most known from and establish itself in its own right. A diva in its own right, it’s become a much more prolific single varietal wine in recent years, as wine-growing regions like California’s Central Coast and Washington state have taken notice of the grape and planted more and more of it. It’s thriving up in the mountains of eastern France’s Savoie region under the name Bergeron, where it is crafted into the crisp, fruity, and aromatic golden Chignan wine. It’s been around in Australia for over a century, where it was first brought in to blend with Shiraz but is now being made on its own. It’s collaborating all over the place: as one of the six permitted grapes – along with Grenache blanc, Picpoul, Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Picardan – used to make white Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines (where it often takes the lead to the tune of making up 80-100% of those wines); as a blending grape with Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Bianco to form Tuscany’s rare Montecarlo bianco wines; and in Provence and the Languedoc regions of France with other white wines like Chardonnay and Vermentino. Roussanne is out there, doing its thing, getting its own, and working it as hard as it can to establish a name for itself on its own, not in the context of other grapes.
But therein lies the problem and the reason while Roussanne is still a Forgotten Grape and Ms. Kelly is still considered an “underrated” artist: if people can’t appreciate the grape (or the person) outside of the group that it is most commonly associated with – even if that grape (or person) was always the backbone of the group while the lead grape (or person) gets all the attention and acclaim – then there’s really no way for the grape (or the person) to establish any identity on its own. Which is why we’re urging you to take a fresh look at Kelly Rowland the recording artist, the actress, the television host, and the diva, and at Roussanne, the crisp, acidic, fragrant, complex white wine. Both
may not be the divas that the leaders of their packs were, but they are divas in
their own right, both will put on a good show for you, and both will definitely
leave you wanting more when you finally see and appreciate the talent they
have on their own.
