Summer Sippers

I had a chance to try a delightful, small production sauvignon blanc this weekend . . . 2006 Dry Stack Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, Rosemary's Block, made by Russell Bevan. It was delightfully crisp and very citrusy, but with some deeper notes of orange rind and apricot.

Just tried the Allan Scott Marlborough SB from New Zealand. Wow! pungent, zippy, and loaded with ripe tropical fruit rather than capsicum notes. $20 in Canada.

I recently had some 2006 Rochioli Sauv Blanc. Yummm!!!

Nice citrus lemon and lime zest, good crisp acidity and a nice chalky Bordeaux Blanc style minerality.

It was very refreshing on a hot afternoon last week.

I just went to a tasting of some Carl Ehrhard wines. I picked up a couple of the off-dry ones. Any RS was very balanced by acidity. Was very nice.

A good lambrusco.

medici is one.

These sparkling red wines are great in the summer.

Near perfect for grilled or spicy foods or just sipping.

Falanghina! Taburno, Cantine Farro, Mastroberardino all make a good one.
