Beat The Heat: Wines To Revitalize And Energize Your Palate

Hot days and warm nights call for light wines that will not weigh you down. Beat the heat and humidity with an invigorating white or a lively rosé. A chilled red wine can be ultra refreshing and pairs beautifully with grilled meat. Our staff has selected an assortment of their favorite wines to revitalize and energize your palate. Cheers!

Mitch uses this Cava to practice for his upcoming event, One for the Books. He will attempt to beat the world record for most bottles of Champagne opened with a sabre in one minute. Proceeds will benefit The Ridgefield Library. Click here for more information on this event.

When it's 70 degrees I drink white wine. When it's 80 degrees I drink rose. And when it's 90 degrees I drink Vinho Verde. This particular Vinho Verde is one of my favorites because of its very subtle citrus qualities, spritziness, searing acidity. Pair with sunshine, shellfish, and crustations.

The wine is fermented in glass-lined underground vats and spends 7 months on its lees. The result is a refreshing light, dry white with lemon zest aromas and delicate white flowers, a little creamy melon shows through midway, finishing with focused mineraled acidity that firmly supports this wine's lythe body. Serve with clams, crabs and oysters.
