Is Rose' a 4 letter word?

I have not tried many rose's. I cannot get my family to try a rose'. I think it just plain confuses people. Is it white, or red? Is it sweet or dry? Do I drink it warm or cold? I prefer a dry red wine, but a semi-dry white wine. I try to keep a bottle in the rack just in case someone comes over and requests one, but in all honesty, it's never happened. (not that I get a lot of people over..:) ) So, tonight, I pulled the Rose' out of the rack and decided to give it a go. I was looking for just a something a bit different on the taste profile. Not a pinot noir, and also not a Riesling. The first glass is warm, then the bottle went in the fridge. This is a 2012 Goats do roam from South Africa. It's an 8 dollar bottle of wine. Even though it is at room temperature, it has the refreshing bite I was looking for. Definitely a white wine on the nose. And, this a  blend as well. 4 different wines as I recall. Second glass is chilled..... Not much difference I guess. I'm still not sure about it, but I think I will buy another one and throw it back in the rack....
