Three Winds Sauvignon Blanc 2008
I think I’ve almost turned myself into a white wine drinker, and not just because it’s already blistering hot here in the not-so-deep-South either.

summer means Rosé . . .
(I originally posted this last year towards the end of summer, but I thought I’d post it again, since summer is nearly here, it’s already hot as blazes here in the South, and you’ll probably want to start enjoying lots of Rosé, very soon.)
OK, so it’s time to dust off your winter [...]
