Summertime means warm, lazy evenings on the deck and tasty weekend BBQs. And what better accompaniment than a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a medium-bodied Pinot Noir or a robust Cabernet Sauvignon?
Yes, those have been in our glasses so far this summer – refreshing whites with prawns or humus on the deck, medium-bodied reds with unique, flavorful salads, and big and beautiful reds with hamburgers or on occasion, steaks.
Here are the wines in our glasses — at home or in tasting rooms — that we’ve loved in the past couple of months.
- Sauvignon Blanc from JM Cellars, Efeste and Carlton Cellars
- Pinot Noir from K&M Wines, Don & Sons and Carlton Cellars
- Zinfandel from Forgeron Cellars
- Syrah from Alexandria Nicole Cellars, JM Cellars and Va Piano
- Cabernet Franc from Barrister Winery, Barrage Cellars, Seven of Hearts, Alexandria Nicole Cellars, Northwest Totem Cellars and DiStefano
- Cabernet Sauvignon from William Church Winery, L’Ecole41, Fidelitas, Barrage Cellars, Efeste, Obelisco Estate, Gorman Winery, The Woodhouse Wine Estates, Troon Vineyard and Parsonage Estate
What’s in your glass this summer?
Cheers!
