This Monterey County-grown wine is a refreshing and value-priced white. It’s a very good choice for summertime barbecues. It drinks quite well on its own with its friendly flavors of nectarine, tangy apple, and melon, highlighted with light lemony notes. And it will pair with a wide variety of foods like fried chicken, pasta salads, grilled shrimp, and potato salad. Not only that, it’s widely available at grocery stores or chains like BevMo! It’s usually on sale for less than the winery’s $12 listed retail price.
