Wines we’re enjoying on a consistent basis this summer:

Chermette’s Griottes Rose
My St Chinian producer’s un-imported Rose
My Azay-le-Rideau’s Rose
My Azay-le-Rideau’s Gamay
My Azay-le-Rideau’s sparkling Grolleau

Come on, there have to be some perks to being an importer.

I’m dedicating the summer to the wines of Corsica, so drinking through several producers’ white, roses, and reds. Some amazing wines coming from that island.

Drank an '08 Fevre Bougros last night that was smoking good, with fresh Santa Barbara stone crab claws at Ivy At The Shore, of all places (which were surprisingly good). Ended up there as a last minute substitution for Ink., which we couldn’t get to because the traffic headed east from the westside was so horrendous. So we turned around and went to the Ivy.

Jim_V_a_n_P_e_l_t · July 17, 2013, 8:40pm

Virtually any champagne / sparkler. I’m a lot less demanding of these when consumed ice cold on a pontoon.

2012 Ciro Bianco Calabria - Favoring this much more than the rosato this year.

Who’s the Cirò producer?

Frank_Murray_III · July 17, 2013, 11:03pm

Anything 2010 Chidaine is just singing for me this summer.

Sherr1_Shap1r0 · July 17, 2013, 11:22pm

I rarely drink anything but red, but it’s been very hot lately and I have found myself consuming a lot of 2012 Bedrock ode to lulu rose which is just so refreshing and light. Also really liked the first Carlisle white I have ever had, the 2010 Compagni Portis.
