Diana Zahuranec: A Lambrusco from Italy’s “culinary capital” (in quotes because the entire country could claim this and we wouldn’t argue), Medici Ermete Quercioli Dolce is the quintessential wine for any porch snacks you or the neighbor brings. And that “dolce?” Quotes, again. Because don’t even think about sticky sweetness with this wine; it has some residual sugar that helps it get along with every food.
Jennica Ossi: It’s silly how good the Norton Sauvignon Blanc is for its price point. It has tropical fruit, and the grapefruit flavor that you’d normally expect from a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Summer in a glass!
