2012 Las Lilas Vinho Verde
It's summer in a glass, a moderate alcohol (10%) stone-fruit and citrus refresher perfect for poolside.
2012 Domaine Andre Neveu Sancerre Le Grand Fricambault
Fo0d-friendly and pretty, this is a Rosé for any summer table.
2010 Ridge Estate Merlot
Drink with patience, but when the time comes, braised lamb shanks would pair perfectly. Highly recommended, almost entirely on spec.
2012 Gruner Veltliner “Grooner”
Good with gorgonzola and vegetables, even difficult ones like broccoli. In a spritzer, it is traditionally served with platters of cold meats and cheeses. Recommended
2012 Poças Douro Coroa D’ouro
This is a charming blend, layered and offering subtle nuances lending themselves to a broad array of food pairings. Recommended (88). DH
2012 Quinta de Gomariz “Colheita Sellecionada” Alvarinho
A beautiful wine, knife-sharp and fresh on the edge, rounded on the back with floral delicacy. Highly recommended (92). DH
2010 Chateau Tanunda Grand Barossa Shiraz
"With a couple of hours, though, it seems to move from Barossa to the northern Rhone." Drink with pot roast. Recommended (89).
2008 Twomey Merlot
It works with quite a few easy meals as the cab franc and low alcohol rein in any tendency to overpowering fruit here. Pair with a good ol’ American meal like burgers and salad or simply-cooked vegetables. Recommended (89).
