Generally speaking, I love red wines as much as whites, but summertime is the one season when I have a preference for white wine. Few things surpass the gratification of sipping a smooth, crisp, cool white while basking under the warm sunshine.
St. Supéry's 2008 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc ($18) is exactly what I'm talking about. Perfect for pairing with picnic foods like roasted beet salad, grilled vegetable muffalettas, or provoleta, this pale, straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc has notes of lime, grass, tropical fruits, and pear. It ends with a tart, clean finish.
Do you find yourself drinking more Sauvignon Blanc during warm weather? Have you ever tried St. Supéry's version?

I haven't tried this Sav Blanc, but I have had the St. Supery Cabernet Sauvignon and it's wonderful!
1I love whites in the summer. I have not tried the St. Supery Sav. Blanc. My favorite summer whites are Sav. Blancs from New Zealand's Marlborough region. They have strong grapefruit notes.
