Seasonal Sips
These seasonal sips are sure to be enjoyed with a partner on the porch or with friends during a backyard meal.
1. Coppola Diamond Shimmer Sauvignon Blanc Pinot Grigio
Wines within Francis Ford Coppola’s “Diamond” collection are made with California grapes from across the state. The Shimmer Sauvignon Blanc Pinot Grigio is a bright white blend that offers big flavor at an affordable price. It has aromas of citrus and blossom on the nose, with hints of green melon on the palate, making it a great summer wine. Serve it with grilled chicken and veggies for an elevated summer meal.
2. Schmitt Söhne Riesling
Schmitt Söhne’s crisp riesling from the Rheinhessen appellation in Germany is perfectly paired with a spicy seafood pasta or a cheese board. Hailing from one of the oldest wine-growing regions in Germany (possibly dating back to 50 A.D.), the semi-sweet wine boasts peach and apple aromas with fruity flavors and is often described as “easy to drink.”
3. Jack Daniels Canned Cocktails
For the Jack Daniels lovers, the famed Tennessee whiskey now offers a new variety of easy-to-drink canned cocktails for summer barbeques and poolside hangs. Available in classic Jack and Coke, cherry Coke, honey lemonade, and ginger ale flavors, each can is 7.0% ABV and sure to be a refreshing crowd pleaser.
4. Gray Whale Gin
Gray Whale’s award-winning gin is made in small batches at Golden State Distillery in Sebastopol, California. The gin begins with a six-times distilled, gluten-free corn base. After distillation, carefully selected California botanicals, hand-zested citrus, and fir-tree needles are placed in a bag and added above the base spirit, resulting in a beautiful gin that is further distilled seven times and rested before bottling.
It’s smooth, creamy, and earthy, making it perfect for summer sipping. And, every bottle supports Oceana, an organization protecting the world’s oceans.
