A Summer Splash in a Glass

You can’t find better values in wine than what’s coming out of Spain right now. Spain is HOT, HOT, HOT!

Marqués de Riscal Verdejo Rueda 2009

And speaking of hot, I bet the summer heat has got you craving a cool, crisp, thirst quencher to cool you off. May I suggest the Herederos Del Marqués de Riscal Rueda 2009 made from the Verdejo grape.

This is my go-to bargain white when the temperature rises. A shiny, pale lemon-green color in the glass with a refreshing nose of cantaloupe, grapefruit, fennel and tarragon, this fresh, light and zippy white still manages to feel round in the mouth. Flavors of herbs, citrus and almonds pull forward with each luscious sip. I use it in my recipes calling for a dry white, and at only $8.99 a bottle you can afford to cook with a bottle and drink a bottle!
