--Summer
is here (we
hope)
and
so is our annual
Favorite Wines of Summer (so far...)
-
How does one select the 'top' wines of summer? We picked wines that
that are fun and lively, wines that are great with BBQ or oysters,
or just by themselves, wines that you want to
experience over and over again.
-
2012 Sylvain Bailly Sancerre La Louée ROSE $22
What is summer without an awesome bottle of rose?
100% Pinot Noir from the Loire Valley in France. Bright,
energetic, lively, refreshing & above all delicious
-
2011 Brander Sauvignon Blanc au Naturel $28.50
This
elegant Sauvignon Blanc stays true to the varietal with notes of light
apple,
feminine perfume and a freshness that will let you
keep pondering this intricate wine sip after sip.
-
2011 Weingut Keller Riesling Trocken $22
We
love this wine. I mean we really LOVE it!
A dry Riesling that is great with shellfish,
halibut, or go crazy and drink it with some spicy Thai food.
Riesling + Spicy Thai = Perfect Paring
-
2008 Marchesi de' Frescobaldi Chianti Rùfina Nipozzano
Riserva $16.50
Always
reliable, always delicious. Try it with a bowl of fettuccine bolognese
-
2012 Domaine de la Fouquette Côtes de Provence Cuvée
Rosée d'Aurore $16.50
This crisp, dry rose
is the quintessential Provencal style, made from
a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Rolle. It offers lovely
citrus and strawberry aromas and flavors, with punchy watermelon notes
on the palate.
-
2011
Ecker Grüner Veltliner $15.50 (1 liter bottle!)
From
Austria comes the best everyday 'GruVe' we have tasted this year.
Well-rounded, delicious minerality balanced with nice ripe fruit.
-
2010 Domaine Robert Chevillon Bourgogne Passetoutgrains
$25
85%
Pinot Noir with 15% Gamay that transforms this wine into a
pretty, elegant, 'sunset wine' as we call this one. A very charming
bottle of wine.
-
2012
Bodegas del Palacio de Fefiñanes Rías Baixas Albariño
$25.50
Year
in and year out this is our favorite albarino. Yes, it is
a little pricier than others but well worth it. The 2012 vintage has
the
perfect balance of acidity and ripness. Chill a bottle for the warm
summer days to come.
