| White Wine Tasting with The Wine Wrangler |
Crisp white wines are the perfect antidote to the rising mercury.
Their herbaceous and citrus characteristics are just the ticket to refresh the
palate and they pair perfectly with the lighter flavors of summer foods.
Wondering what to drink on those hot August nights? Prepare for the hottest
days of summer by venturing out in search of white wines. The Wine Wrangler can arrange to
take you on a Private
Wine Tour through Paso Robles Wine Country, or if you, like, Monterrey to
the north, or even Santa Ynez or Santa Barbara to the south.
The Central Coast of California is home to over 200 wineries
and with several microclimates, there are so many varietals to try. Even if
you’re a steadfast red wine drinker, we urge you to lighten up this season and
give white wines a try—and if you’re feeling adventurous, why not try a rose or
two, as well.
Here are a 3 of our favorite whites to try:
Chardonnay:
Typically full-bodied and velvety, Chardonnays can have a buttery tone, and
nuances of melon, coconut, and vanilla. Chardonnays pair well with fish or
chicken.
Sauvignon
Blanc: Unlike Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc tends to be herbaceous and
grassy, often with undertones of green bell pepper, sour fruits, green apples,
and even the tropical flavors of ripe melon or mango. Sauvignon Blanc pairs
well with salads and chicken.
Moscato:
The darling of both newbies and old timers, Moscato can have a heavily
perfumed aroma, often with notes of honeysuckle, rose and orange blossoms, and
peach undertones; it’s also sweet smelling and often musky. Surprisingly,
Moscato can pair well with cheese.
In the same way that we lighten
up our summer wardrobes to keep cool, hot summer weather calls for crisp summer
whites that pair well with seasonal fare and are pleasing to the palate. If
you’d like to venture out and find the perfect white wines for your palate,
take a Private
Wine Tasting Tour with The Wine Wrangler.
