It’s been awhile since I shared some favorite wines, so this list is a little lengthier than usual. Lately, it’s been lots of white and rosé wines to beat the heat, but I’ve also included some reds from months past that were too good not to share.

Chateau Miraval, Côtes de Provence, Rosé, 2013: This rosé is a product of Brangelina, and it is great. Don’t let the celebrity endorsement discourage you, because you’d be missing out. I’m not the only one who thinks so (in case you needed added proof).

Chateau de Campuget, Costieres de Nimes, Rosé Rhone Wine, 2012: The perfect summer drink

DeMorgenzon, DMZ, Chardonnay, 2013: Crisp and fruity – A great picnic wine

Graham Beck, The Game Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2010, South Africa: This red is really lovely. Bring it to your friend’s house the next time you’re invited over for dinner. You’ll be asked again.

Espelt, Viticultors de l’Emporda, Garnacha: A light, spicy red

Gran Vin de Bourgogne, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Domaine du Prieure, Savigny-Les-Beaune, France: A rich, full-bodied red

Tournon, Victorian Shiraz, Mathilda, 2011: Great peppery notes
