Here are a few interesting and different wines for summer. They’re available at Our Market, on the harbor in Oak Bluffs.
2018 Summer in a Bottle Rosé, Wolffer Estate, Long Island, $25.99 A shock to the system of a Provence purist. This pale, dry rosé from Long Island blew us away with its refreshing flavors and thirst-quenching finish. A chiller and a thriller!
2017 Paitin “Elisa” Arneis, Piedmont, Italy, $19.99 Crisp, clean white that offers a refreshing, citrusy minerality that is perfect for shellfish on the half, lighter cheese, and a perfect Vineyard sunset.
2017 Domaine Marc Morey Rully, Côte-d’Or, Burgundy, $26.99 This one racks up the style points for its breadth of flavor and length on the palate that suggests a white Burgundy three times the price. Grilled lobster, swordfish, or your favorite flavorful cheese will taste even better with this beauty.
2017 Kepos di Ampeleia, Tuscany, Italy, $25.99 This Alacante Nero (Grenache) blend is a perfect complement to your favorite barbeque foods. Bright hints of cherry and strawberry with a nice touch of spice and a medium-body mouth feel just kills it. LFG!
