Summertime, and the drinking is easy

The Accidental Wine Company today shared some summer drinking recommendations.  At these price points, there’s something for everyone.  Enjoy!  

This 2009 Curran Grenache Gris Rosé is pale pink salmon in color, with tastes of mango, sweet cream, rhubarb and hints of cardamom. It is dry and has a long crisp finish. $12 per bottle.

The 2009 Prodigal Huber Vineyard Chardonnay is a wine with great varietal character. It has a wonderful, dry minerality that is typical of the Huber Vineyard. Fermented in stainless steel, this lean and steely chardonnay is all about the fruit.

2007 Joseph Phelps Freestone “Ovation” Chardonnay. Even though this is a California Chardonnay through-and-through, it’s so darn balanced that it’s almost impossible not to enjoy it. Floral, fruity, minerally and a bit of oak to hold in in place. At $30 per bottle, it’s an amazing value.

2010 Bertolani Lambrusco Reggiano Amabile DOC. It is a serious wine that spectacularly complements your summer BBQ. Aromas of cherry and plum, the Reggiano Amabile is gently sparking, off-dry and surprisingly complex. Only $12 per bottle.

Alberto Quacquarini Vernaccia di Serrapetrona Secco. Aromas of clove, cinnamon and black pepper. Then comes the lavender with hints of honey. Then the flavors engage you. Plums, cocoa, leather and a hint of tobacco. Only $23 per bottle.
