Three sommeliers tried Meghan's new rosé. Here's what they thought

Times7 days ago
The Duchess of Sussex has made her first foray into winemaking with the release of her Napa Valley rosé, released under her lifestyle brand As Ever.
The 43-year-old first revealed her interest in wine in the mid-2010s, when she would share her favourite robust Tuscan reds and dry white Sardinian wines with readers of her lifestyle blog The Tig.
The blog's name was a nod to Tignanello, a so-called 'super-Tuscan' chianti. Meghan has said that her first sip of Tignanello taught her what it meant to appreciate a wine's body, legs and structure.
Now with the release of her $30 rosé, Meghan has sampled and personally selected a blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah, grenache and mourvèdre from the Fairwinds Estate Winery in Calistoga, in California's Napa Valley.

Could With Love, Meghan Season Two Be Cancelled?

Reports have surfaced that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's multi-year Netflix deal is about to come to an end, leaving fans questioning whether season two of With Love, Meghan will ever see the light of day. The couple's five-year $100 million Netflix deal will reportedly not be renewed when it expires this September. An insider told The Sun , 'There's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course.' But where does this leave season two of With Love, Meghan ? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix deal may have come to an end, but this doesn't mean With Love, Meghan will be written off. Season two has already been filmed and was scheduled to premiere this autumn. So far, there's been nothing to suggest that this latest update has led to any cancellation. The promotional content is still up and no announcements have been made. It appears season two of With Love, Meghan will still be streamed, as the final product of the Sussex's million-dollar deal. As for a third season, it's not known whether this is still a possibility. The end of their current contract doesn't rule out future seasons of the show, or stop Netflix doing any other projects with the couple. According to an insider, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is still on very good terms with the Duchess, and isn't shutting off the option of a 'one-off project' further down the line. It's possible then that we will see Harry and Meghan return to the streaming platform – but from September, they'll no longer be under the current contract. In 2022, the former working royals made history with their bombshell Harry & Meghan – which is still Netflix's most-watched docuseries. However, the couple didn't reach the same heights with their following projects. Harry's Polo docuseries reportedly received just 500,000 views in the first half of 2025, while Heart of Invictus failed to break into the Netflix Top 10 charts in both America and Britain. Despite garnering mixed reviews, With Love, Meghan was a much-needed success. The show ranked in Netflix's top 10 global shows within a week of its release in March, amassing 2.6 million views. Shortly after the premiere, Netflix confirmed that season two had already been shot and would be hitting our screens later this year. Filmed in Montecito, California, the series follows Meghan as she invites famous friends and foodies into the kitchen – including Mindy Kaling and Alice Waters. In the Duchess's own words, 'The series is about doing what you can do, and doing it with love.' Season two is expected to be pretty similar to the format of season one, with Meghan once again serving as executive producer. However, we will be seeing a new set of famous faces. Model Chrissy Teigen and chef Jose Andres were the first names to be announced earlier this year, with Meghan saying, 'I've been fortunate to have the people that I want on the show… I've been really lucky. We have a great, great lineup.' Fans were surprised during season one that the stunning Californian mansion on the show didn't turn out to be Meghan and Harry's real home. Instead, it was a property rented specifically for filming. But while the house wasn't as authentically Sussex as some hoped, the family did play a part in the show. Prince Harry made a brief appearance, with the couple's children – Archie, six, and Lilibet, four – also having their moment. Opening up about filming the series, Meghan revealed, 'Archie did the [filming clapboard!] Sweet moments. They would also come with my husband and visit me on set. I loved that my children were able to watch me working and see the balance of that and understand what Mama does and is working to create and share. It was really special because up until then, they hadn't seen me at work.' Charlotte Roberts is a writer at Grazia UK.
