Summer fling don’t mean a thing, but oh, those summer wines! Kick off the season of days in the pool and patio parties with just the right wines to set the mood. We suggest starting with our latest Wines of the Month, hand-picked by our talented team of pros!

Goldschmidt Fidelity Red: From a winemaker with more than 30 years’ experience with Alexander Valley grapes, this wine offers tremendous value for a red blend. Merlot is the predominate grape in this well-structured wine with bright red fruits and supple tannins. It’s also partially aged in new French oak for a nice texture and added complexity.

Quinta da Aveleda Vinho Verde: Every year, our adult beverage team is blown away by how consistently great this wine is—and for under $10! Light-bodied with a slight effervescence, this dry wine is loaded with green apple and lime flavors. It is an extremely versatile wine that’s sure to delight the palate.

De Wetshof Limestone Hill Chardonnay: This unoaked version of chardonnay from South Africa is perfect for the warmer summer weather. Without any big oak flavors to make it too rich or heavy, this lovely wine boasts grapefruit citrus notes, white peach and a hint of nuttiness on the finish.

Apaltagua Rosé: Carmenere grapes from Chile make this light rose-hued wine on the drier side with notes of cranberry, cherry, rose petal and hints of grapefruit citrus. It’s the perfect choice for enjoying at a summer barbecue or for simply relaxing and trying to keep cool.
