Here are some wines I recommend for the "Grilling Season" (anytime after you read this, LOL). The prices are all high, unless you live in some place with only 1 store for 200 miles. * All of these could/should be found in "grocery-stores".
Great Wines to Pair with Grilled Foods
2010 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc ($18)
A wonderful balance of brash lime, herb and tropical flavors.
2010 Leitz Dragonstone Riesling ($18)
Full of slightly sweet lemon chiffon and cherry flavors.
2009 Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling ($20)
Light-bodied and vibrant, with bright apple, lime and orange tones.
2010 Honig Sauvignon Blanc ($16)
A bit of effervescence adds freshness to citrus and grass notes.
2009 Chehalem INOX ($17)
This unoaked Chardonnay, which brims with lemon, lime and green pear, is an excellent value.
2009 Pieropan Soave Classico ($17)
Crisp and bold, with supple apple, quince and chalk flavors. * Big HIT. A "GO-TO" wine of mine.
2009 Sokol Blosser Pinot Gris ($18)
Fresh and medium-bodied, with intriguing notes of green fig. * Big HIT. Another "GO-TO" wine of mine.
2009 Layer Cake Cabernet Sauvignon ($16) I've said it before, anything from "Layer Cake" is fantastic.
Aging in used Hundred Acre barrels gives this red’s luscious blackberry flavors a gentle cedar note.
2007 Bodega Norton Reserva Malbec ($18) One of my favorite malbecs.
Muscular tannins support rich berry, herb and vanilla flavors.
