Favorite Summer Wines

June 8, 2009 By Tanji Leave a Comment

What’s your favorite wine? It’s a question I’m often asked, and the answer is ’what’s your budget?’

There is a correlation between price and quality, BUT there are also some VERY good wines that don’t cost a lot of money…especially wines that work well with our summer heat

You’ve probably clicked-on HEB’s banner and watched my friend Ralph ‘the Wine Guy’ talk about ‘Special Selects’. These are always wines less than $15 a bottle, many less than $10, that are a great value.

Some of my other favorite bargain wines, especially this time of year, would be Louis Latour’s Valmoissine Pinot Noir. It’s about $11 a bottle and usually available at Central Market and Costco. It’s a light, fruity pinot noir that goes great with fish, chicken and lamb.

A fun summer wine that’s very EASY on your wallet is New Age from Argentina. At about $9 a bottle it’s the perfect white wine for our hot summer days. It’s slightly effervescent and wonderful served over ice with a slice of lime.

If you want a bit more serious white wine for summer, try Sauvignon Blancs. Some good ones include Geyser Peak, Estancia and Kendall Jackson – all for less than $13.

Another good summer wine – DRY Roses. Banfi’s Centine is about $10. Becker Vineyards makes a good one too. Serve these chilled – they’re perfect with hamburgers and work well alone. Speaking of hamburgers, if you want the secret ingredient Morton’s uses in their delicious burgers, I’ve got the recipe on my website … search ‘Mortons’.
