Frankly Scarlet !

I will use the next few posts to look at light bodied wines that I believe would be good choices for your summer outings. I like the lighter wines for warm weather entertaining because they are easy to drink and allow you to enjoy the company of friends and family without having to worry about what wines to serve. Beringer Red Moscato 2011 fits nicely into this category by being light with fresh fruit flavors and a floral aroma. It is a little sweet but often described as “not too sweet or not too dry with a smooth refreshing finish”. This deep scarlet colored Moscato is produced in Argentina from a blend of Moscato, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grapes and bottled in the Napa Valley of California. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you take this one with you to the park for an evening concert under the stars.

Perry Creek Zinman Zinfandel El Dorado 2007 is grown and produced in the El Dorado AVA within the Sierra Foothills region of California. Best described as a luscious cherry and raspberry beginning with a peppery finish. This wine is very easy to drink and is very versatile with a wide range of food from pizza and burgers to grilled steak. Wine Enthusiast rated at 88 points makes this one you should consider for a summer gathering that includes grilling and friends. PA L.C.B. product code 20908.

Fogged In
Goat’s milk cheese (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Wine and cheese go together like no other food combination on Earth. My absolute favorite wine and artisan cheese pairing is Cypress Grove Chevre Humboldt Fog and Sauvignon Blanc. Cypress Grove Chevre makes Humboldt Fog from premium pasteurized goats milk in Humboldt County, California. This goat cheese can be enjoyed even by people who do not like goat cheese because it doesn’t have a strong goat milk flavor due to the quality of the milk used. I like to pair it with a Sauvignon Blanc. An interesting choice would be Dourthe La Grande Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc 2010 with its 88 point rating from The Wine Advocate. It can be found at the Pa. L.C.B. store for $12.99 with the product code 29706.
