Great taste at even greater prices
I just returned from San Francisco where it was nice and cool, but here in Arizona we are in the middle of another searing hot summer. When it’s warm out, I lean toward lighter red wines, whites, rosés and bubbly. Go with what you like, of course, but wines that have a lot of fruit acid are perfect for summer. Here are suggestions for crisp, refreshing, summer wines—white, rosé and even red—at attractive prices.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]
Single Serving Rosé
How cute are these beaker bottles? Standard Wines “makes the perfect glass of wine, in a bottle.” Usual Rosé, a dry, Provence-style wine from Santa Barbara, comes in individual serving bottles that each hold 6.3 ounces. It’s the perfect size when you don’t want to open a bottle, so there’s no waste. It also means you don’t have to share. It’s only available in a limited release, so you’ll want to order soon.
12x bottles (large glasses) of rosé, plus a pink drink pool float and shipping is $96. Available online only at Standard Wines. Also available in Standard Red, Chardonnay, or a mixed order.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]
Summer Party White
Las Mulas Sauvignon Blanc Reserva Organic, an extra-dry, pale yellow Chilean wine, tastes expensive with good acidity and a long finish. Its citrusy and tropical notes pair well with seafood and salads, or just to sip by itself. It’s a great wine to stock up on to serve at parties.
Single bottle is $14.95. Available online at LCBO.com.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]
Consistently Good Red
Ravenswood is a large but reliable producer whose Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel is bold, rich, and easily drinkable. Dark fruit such as black cherry, plum and blackberry, with a lot of spice and a hint of cocoa, make this an excellent wine to pair with whatever you’re grilling at your summer barbecue.
A single bottle is $10 to $18 depending on where you buy it. Available at multiple online resources or in-store at Total Wine, BevMo, or many local independent wine shops.
I’d love to hear about your favorite bargain wines, so send recommendations our way!
