Summer Wine
1 Hot-weather drinking requires its own genre of wines: light,
easygoing, blithe and, above all, refreshing. These sorts of
wines are enjoyable year-round, but in the sweaty summer
months, the desirable becomes the imperative.
5 It’s not a question of red or white or even pink. All are good
as long as they come in the proper summer weight. Just as
winter wools are stored away, so are enervating heavy wines
that weigh you down, rather than pep you up.
These summery wines are especially appealing when the
10 price is equally untaxing. I’ve long asserted that the greatest
values in wines are in the $15 to $25 range.
