Are you sweating like crazy this summer? Is it just me, or is this one of the hottest summers in recent memory? We are at the height of white wine season now in July, so time to break out all the trusty favorites that leave you feeling chilled down and relaxed. Any Pinot Grigio fans out there?
If you usually reach for a cool, refreshing bottle of Pinot Grigio, let me challenge you to try something different this summer! In my July Vino column in Biscayne Timesnewspaper, I cover a few suggestions of different, equally-as-refreshing Italian whites to pair with the summer heat. Hope you enjoy some of these bottles, and if you have your own suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments!
