If you like Rombauer Chardonnay... try Napa Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay.
This classic Napa Valley Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented and aged in about 25% new French oak. Aromas of graham cracker and green apple are followed by flavors of ripe pear and pie crust, all wrapped in a lushly textured body with a long finish reminiscent of crème brûlée.
If you like Meiomi Pinot Noir... try Lincourt Lindsay’s Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills.
The grapes for this fruit-forward wine come from the Santa Rita Hills AVA, just north of Santa Barbara. While it’s getting harder to find top-quality pinot noir under $20, this one overdelivers for the price. Tart cherry and savory spice flavors make for a wonderful match to your summer grilling adventures.
If you like Whispering Angel Rosé... try Gérard Bertrand Gris Blanc.
Enjoyed for centuries in Europe, rosé wines have only recently gained popularity in the U.S. A great example of the classic style, the Gris Blanc is pale pink with a complex array of red berry, cherry, guava and lemon sherbet flavors, plus a fresh, zesty finish that will keep you coming back for more.
If you like La Marca Prosecco... try Val D’Oca Prosecco.
With soft, creamy bubbles and fresh, tropical fruit flavors, what’s not to love about a good prosecco? The Val D’Oca fits the bill perfectly with spring flower and white peach notes and a finish of candied nectarine. One sip of this and it’s easy to see why prosecco has become so popular.
Whichever wines you prefer, we’ve got the glass for you. U-Konserve Insulated Tumblers are perfect for keeping your wine cool on warm summer days (or your cocoa warm on cold winter ones). Bonus: these double-walled stainless steel tumblers are a waste-free way to sip sustainably. This Certified B Corporation also donates 1% of their profits to benefit the environment!
