Saignée is Tired is inspired by the grape vine frame. She is also wearing a pink top which is the color of rosé wine (made from grapes). But I wanted her to feel special and name her Saignée (pronounced sohn-yay) which is fancier than a rosé wine name. And she does look tired.

Quote from Winefolly.com - Saignée means “to bleed,” and it also describes a method of rosé winemaking that involves “bleeding” off a portion of red wine juice after it’s been in contact with the skins and seeds. Saignée is considered a byproduct of red winemaking because its primary function is to increase the concentration of red wines. Still, Saignée is a unique style of rosé wine because it is so often bolder and darker in color than any other rosé wine.
