I’m not going out on a limb to say that we’ve had more than our share of hot weather this summer. I suppose it’s making up for the relatively mild summer last year. Given this, let’s look at those refreshing options in the world of wine. Typically I reserve this month’s column for rosé as that’s how they do August in France but instead here are a couple of white wine options from Penedès.
I don’t often talk about Penedès as they’re very good at producing very large quantities of wine and it is but a few producers that make bottles truly worthy of note–Cava being a wholly different beast. But look around and you can find wines such as the first one from Segura Viudas which is a good value. Or then you can find craft wines like the second from the brilliant Partida Creus. Both of these wines offer up a good option to keep in the ice bucket and sip from during the long, hot evening.
