We asked sommelier, writer, and four-time Beard Award winner Natalie MacLean to tell us her favorite summertime wines that don’t cost an arm and a leg.
Best Patio Sipper: Ca’ Del Solo Vineyard Muscat 2007 (Monterey, CA): Medium-bodied and slightly off-dry white. About $17.
Best Poolside Chiller: Nobilo Regional Collection Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2006 (New Zealand): Pure grassy goodness! About $16.
Best Barbecue Quaffer: Peter Lehmann Shiraz Grenache 2005 (Australia): A full-bodied palate-whacker of a wine. About $15.
Perfect patio sipper for me is Strewn Two Vines Riesling Gewurztraminer 2009. Slightly off-dry with a clean crisp finish. Only $10.95 right now!
Natalie,
Are these wines easily accessible at the LCBO?
every one of them, yes!
Hi Nat,
Unfortunately, been looking for a couple of weeks now and only the Marlborough is available at the LCBO. The other two are not listed.
