Six bottles that belong in your Beach Bag
Filipa Pato,
Post Quercus Bical
Region: Beiras, Portugal
Varietal: Bical
Razor sharp acidity, flinty minerality, and just a little savory almond on the finish. This wine is beautiful.
Martha Stoumen Wines, Post Flirtation Red Blend
Region: California
Varietals: Carignan, Zinfandel
This juicy blend is not without depth. Santa Rosa plum, black raspberry, and hibiscus. Lively acidity up front, lush and smooth on the finish.
Da Cruz e Teles - COZ Pop
Region: VdP - Serra de Motejunto - Lisboa, Portugal
Varietal: Vital (aka Malvasia Corada)
Sandy apricots, hazelnut, and a grippy tart finish. This wine deserves to be enjoyed by the ocean.
Santo Tomas,
Misión Blanco
Region: Baja California, Mexico
Varietals: Chenin Blanc, Colombard
Juicy, punchy apricots. This wine is so clean and so cool. This is a skin-contact white wine so you're getting beautiful tangerine color coupled with dazzling acidity.
Francesco Brigatti, MottoBello Bianco
Region: Colline Novaresi DOC - Piedmont, Italy
Varietal: Erbaluce
Pure sunshine. Bright acidity with something savory that reminds us of olives and sautéed shallots. Such a thirst-quencher.
Osmote, De Chaunac
Region: Finger Lakes AVA - New York
Varietal: De Chaunac
Wispy notes of blood orange, tomato water, and lots of cranberries. Such a delicate, easygoing wine.
