Porch Wines

FOR ALL TIMES

From sunrise to moonset, from the sailboat to the golf course, from biking to barbequing (and always relaxing on the porch), one of enduring charms of Harbor Country is the myriad ways to enjoy summer here. However and with whomever you do your best summering, the Wine Sellers has fresh, light-drinking summer wines perfect for the before, during and after times.

Porch Wines are but a select few that match the occasions, the vibes and all the possibilities that summer in Harbor Country has to offer

Domaine De La Perrière 2024 Sauvignon Blanc ‘La Petite Perrière ($17.95)

Pale gold in hue with light yellow tints. Intense bouquet with hints of grapefruit and peach. Palate is crisp and refreshing with citrus and exotic fruits. A steal of a deal from the Loire Valley.

Bosco del Merlo Pinot Grigio Rosè ($24.50)

A pink Pinot Grigio! The harvest is fragmented to achieve the perfect balance between the acidity of the first pick with the aromatic and fruity notes of the second. The result is dry flavor and excellent sapidity with hints of blackberry, raspberry and acacia flowers.

Lenotti 2024 Bardolino Classico ($16.50)

Just a great, chillable, everyday wine from one of the sweetest towns on Lake Garda. A blend of 65% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 10% mix of other red grapes. A translucent ruby hue hints at its refreshing style. The nose offers aromas of red berries, floral tones and herbs. On the palate, its light body carries flavors of cherry, cranberry, and delicate spice, framed by gentle tannins and a lively acidity. A dry yet supple wine that practically dances across the tongue, leaving a clean, elegant finish.

Wines to Watch

For the first time in forever, sales of white wine have surpassed red wine sales both globally and in the U.S. While it certainly relates to revised dietary habits we see today, with less red meats and more lighter fare, we never undervalue taste!

Benito Ferrara 2024 Greco di Tufo Vigna Cicogna ($35.00)

A top seller at Top 50, this single vineyard offering from Campania is considered one of the 10 most important white wines in Italy. Extraordinary and delicious. Elegant with the tannic power typical of Greco wines. It has a light on its feet quality, a dainty minerality and a lemony freshness not commonly found in other Greco di Tufo wines.

Domaine des Aubuisières 2023 Vouvray Cuvée De Silex ($27.95)

Chenin blanc is “having its moment” thanks to beauties such as this one. 100% chenin blanc opens with freshly sliced red apple, dried field grass and white nectarine aromas dusted with white blossom. Orchard fruit and crushed stone flavors emerge on the midpalate, followed by a kiss of lemon zest on the finish.
