Here now restaurateur and winemaker Joe Bastianich answers the question, "Is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Rosé Worth the Hype?" Of note, the initial 6,000 bottles of 2012 Château Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé, priced at about $23, sold out within five hours. Bastianich says, "The classic traps of celebrity vintners don't apply. They're not celebrity vintners; Brad and Angelina are real vintners. They hired a real wine-maker, they waited until the wine was good, they released it properly—this is a legitimate wine." [Vanity Fair]
