Finally, Spring has sprung. We're putting away the coats and sweaters and getting ready for grilling, chilling and wine glass refilling. Here are four faves.
Bubbly
Pink, bubbly and South African. Like Evita Bezuidenhout. Graham Beck Brut Rose is light with a hint of berry and just enough complexity, perfect for a warm evening. Try Empire Wine.
White
We love the fresh floral Viogner from Stags' Leap. It's flowery yet very dry, largely because the wine does not go through malolactic fermentation. More on Viognier here.
Medium Red
Fortinos Brothers Vineyards Pinot Noir is rich, luscious Sonoma Pinot. The family vineyard has been crafting the wine for a private label for three decades and is now bottling the wine under their own label. Special offer at Lot18.com.
Bigger Red
Dry Creek Vineyard The Mariner is a Bordeaux blend that is rich and supple, graceful and delicious. WS 92 points: "Sleek, tight and focused." Buy direct from the winery.
