Summer Wines

Broadbent Sunflower Vinho Verde 2007 (Braga, Portugal)

From the Sunflower painting on the label to the tiny bubbles in the glass, this easy-drinking wine is a great summertime thirst quencher. Vinho Verde is a Portuguese wine from the Minho region in the far north of the country. The name literally means "Green Wine", referring to its youthful freshness rather than its color. It's only 9% alcohol, so it makes a fine drink when you get home from work or come inside from the yard. Chill it ice cold and serve it with a slice of lemon or lime. Aaah!

"In the Good Old Summertime"

It's hot. No two ways about it. We're entering the Dog Days of summer. We reduce our activity level. Eat a little lighter. But we still enjoy the finer accompaniments to a lazy afternoon or a summer picnic. We've selected our Featured wines this month to go with sunshine & shade, salads & seafood, surf & sand. These are the wines we love in the good old summertime.

"Wines of Summer"

We're into the official good times of summer, the season of lighter foods and the wines that go with them. Since our theme next month will be "All-American" we’ve stayed away from the usual domestic summertime favorites and have chosen instead to introduce you to some summer wines from around the world.
