Summer Whites!


It looks like summer is here, if not a little early! And with the warm weather comes crisp, cold, white wine! There are so many great options to cool yourself down, with wines from Spain to New Zealand we've got you covered. My favorite at the moment is Benito Santos Albarino ($19.99) from Spain, it has great tropical flavors and fantastic acidity that quenches your thirst! Moving across the globe there are great New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs that are incredibly refreshing with grapefruit and gooseberry flavors, my recommendations are 90+ Lot 2 ($15.95) and Spy Valley ($17.95). And if you like things just a bit sweeter, the Kung Fu Girl Riesling ($12.95) is what you're looking for! A dry riesling that has great green apple and peach flavors the sugar is balanced by mild acidity to provide a refreshing glass of wine. No matter which you choose, you will enjoy your summer and maybe cool down for just a bit!
