Summer Whites

Summer time is a favorite time for cool white wines.   Here's some further thinking from Gourmet Magazine Wine Consultant Michael Green:

"I generally like to drink wine in the summer outdoors when the weather is great.   So I try to avoid wines that are really high in alcohol.  

So I think the Mosul area of Germany or the Marlborough region of New Zealand.   These wines are generally crisp, more modest in alcohol, and I also like wines that have a touch of residual sugar for the summer.   So I'll look to wines whether it be white Zinfandel, German Riesling or a very fruit forward Sauvignon Blanc for whites."

Grab a bottle and . . .

Pop the cork™.
