Great wines for warm weather foods!

This week we are offering two suggestions that will make great accompaniments for summer-friendly foods. Think charcuterie and cheese, grilled veggies, fresh salads, and things straight from the grill.

These outstanding European wines will help you beat the late summer heat. We hope you enjoy! Cheers!

2019 Pago Casa Gran Bianco, $15
Grapes: 100% Malvasia

Tasting Notes: Sustainably farmed, organic, and vegan Spanish white wine. Crisp acidity, with beautiful floral aromas and a tangy lime-aide. Surprisingly fun value wine!

Boffalora ‘Pietrisco’ Valtellina Superiore, $38
Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo

Tasting Notes: Intense aromas of red cherry, roses, leather and tar. Zippy acidity and a firmly tannic structured finish- this wine is absolutely superb.
