There are few things that I enjoy more than white wine. I love pinot gris, I love pinto grigio. I like riesling with a few cubes of ice, even though my grandmother says that is uncouth.
But it's not so much about the wine. It's about the season of dining on a patio, al fresco. In a good glass you can just taste summertime. Smith Apples and Citrus (it says so on the label) and sometimes, if you really swirl it, even green grass.
It's a love affair that will last well into winter. Maybe for a lifetime.
These are such pretty pictures. I love Lorenzo's...
ReplyDeleteConnie : isn't it the best? I like anywhere with checkered tablecloths.
ReplyDeleteA group of friends and I take one day at the end of each summer and do a wine tour in Southwest Michigan, right along the border of Lake Michigan. There are several wineries there, and I love that we can taste all the different kinds while at an outdoor bar, or while listening to live music on the lawn. We eat dinner at a beachside bar and grill and then watch the sunset. Quintessential summer. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love a good glass [bottle] of Merlot with chocolate in the winter.
Bethany : that sounds amazing! Wine & friends are the best combination (... Merlot and chocolate is a close second)
