The best wine to drink in summer

Jack and I just got back from a long week in Chicago so I didn’t have time to make my flag cake… (not that I’ve ever made a flag cake but there’s always next year). Since the internet seems to be exploding with food coloring I thought I’d take a different approach to “red and white” and share a few of my favorite summer wines.

These are all very food-friendly. I’ve made some suggestions for pairings but they’re actually quite versatile—perfect for any weekend picnic or barbecue. (And they’re all under $20.) Available at (wine-carrying) Whole Foods now through mid-July:

Innovac!ón Chenin-Chardonnay 2013 Argentina $9.99 I've long been a fan of Innovac!ón wines. This 70% chenin/30% chardonnay has notes of white flowers apple pear and tropical fruit. The palate is fresh and smooth with well-balanced acidity. (It's also a 1-liter bottle so it's a super steal).
