Spring is finally here, and with bluebonnets in full bloom, it’s the perfect time to swap out those heavy reds for something light, crisp, and refreshing! Whether you’re lounging on the patio, pairing with fresh seasonal eats, or just toasting to sunnier days, the right white wine can make it all even better. From a bright Sauvignon Blanc to a favorite Pinto Gris and smooth Chardonnay, these seven picks are the perfect way to welcome the season one sip at a time!
Clay Shannon Sauvignon Blanc ($16)
This bright, crisp wine comes from the Shannon Family of wines in High Valley, Lake County, California, which is just outside Napa Valley. It has aromas of peach, lime rind and fresh herbs – a great one for light meals and warm days!
Chandon California Brut Sparkling Wine ($20)
This is a Champagne-style wine from California with notes of honey, orange blossom and apricot. This light and sweet wine makes a great porch wine for light bites and warm days!
Settesoli Grillo ($15)
Settesoli is a family of winegrowers that have been passionately harvesting their vineyards in Sicily for generations. With citrus, honey, and orange blossom aromas, this white wine screams spring! It pairs well with vegetables, baked fish, and fried foods.
The Wolftrap White Wine Blend ($11)
The Wolftrap white blend has a beautiful aroma of honeysuckle, peaches and citrus with bright flavors of green apples, pears and a hint of lemon. This pairs with Asian food, chicken and seafood, or is good all by itself.
