Our Seasonal Favorites
Before the summer slips away, raise a glass to hot August nights – and their perfect wine pairings. A good summer wine should be light, bright, affordable and enjoyable whether you're on the beach, on the go or at the grill.
CHARDONNAY
The most popular white grapes in the world. The styles range from rich, full and oaky to lean, crisp and flinty depending, with flavors of apples, melon, and tropical fruit gracing the palate.
