The Minx on STARZ x Pool Boy Rosé
I’m only one episode in to this series that recently moved from HBO to STARZ and I love the the dynamics of the two main characters. Chauvinist pig pornographer meets shy, yet radical-feminist, joining forces to produce the first nude male magazine. More male frontal nudity than a group prostate exam. There’s two seasons of the series, so I’m diving into this, even streaming it poolside with Pool Boy Rosé.
This bottle, found at grocery stores like Whole Foods, is actually plastic, making it perfect for poolside pouring. It comes from Cotes de Provence in France and you can try it in both rosé and white varieties. The plastic is 100% recyclable and has less than half the carbon footprint of a glass bottles. It’s a very light rosé which makes it easy to drink. Not too much depth to it, kind of like a citrusy and peachy summer water. A great starter wine before you get to the bigger reds.
Happy Streaming! 📺 🍷
