SUMMER WINESSummer calls for an entirely different style of wine than the rest of the year. Instead of the heavy, powerful wines that accompany the cuisine of cooler weather, try something light and refreshing. This does not preclude red wines either. We’ve found several that quaff a thirst and match lighter foods too.

Summertime is also a great time of the year to experiment. Throw off the Cabernet and Chardonnay shackles. Wine lovers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but ponderous over-oaked white wine. By golly, try a cool refreshing Riesling. How about a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from California or New Zealand? Amaze your friends with a dry Rosé. (See page 4). There are so many styles of wine out there it seems a shame to concentrate on one or two types, no matter how delicious they are.

Green’s has selected 16 wines made from 11 different grape varieties made to enjoy during the hot weather. All were picked for their ability to refresh and entertain.

10% discount with the purchase of 6 bottles or more (Mixed or Solid)

-THE ROSÉ EXPERTS THE 2015 VINTAGE HAS ARRIVED!

“Few wines are as easy-drinking, refreshing or as versatile as rosé. With the warmer days of summer…it is time to start stocking up on these flavorful sippers, which are best served well-chilled to allow their subtle fruit and spice flavors to shine through. The best are also zesty enough to match well with lighter fare, such as grilled poultry or seafood.” The Wine Spectator

“There’s nothing better on a sultry day than a wonderful bottle of dry rosé.”Robert Parker

ROSÉ SEASON HAS BEGUN!Over a decade ago, before Rosé became popular again, had introduced our customers to the joys of drinking dry Rosé. It is the perfect summertime wine. Cool and refreshing, and usually moderately priced, Rosé is meant to be consumed without pretense. It is “just” a fun wine that is delicious by itself or with almost any food.Doug Werner-Green’s Wine Buyer

Elizabeth Spencer Mendocino Rosé of Grenache-2015Green’s Cash Price: $15.99“Beautiful pink color with a brilliant clarity. This wine is a delight to pour and share. Refreshing, bright, and complex. The nose is bold with crushed strawberry, fresh red raspberry and lingering aromas of citrus zest and fresh cut flowers. Excellent acidity that cuts through the red grapefruit and tropical flavors and lends a long, clean finish. Perfect alone, with plenty of weight to pair compellingly with a variety of foods. The finish is bright and full of lingering minerality.”WINEMAKER’S NOTE

FRENCHCuvee Royale Tavel Rosé-2015Green’s Cash Sale Price: $14.99The terroir of the vineyard of this wine is entirely “galéts roules,” the same large smooth pebbles

found in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. These stones reflect the heat toward the fruit during the day, and retain, and slowly release, heat throughout the night. The grapes get unusually ripe here. Made from Grenache (50%), Clairette (11%), Cinsault (20%), Picpoul and Bourboulenc (10%) , Carignan and Syrah (9%), this Tavel is rich and powerful. Possesses a deep pink color and ripe cherries on the bouquet, this dry, rich, ripe red fruit flavored wine is one of the most concentrated Rosés we carry. If Chateauneuf-du-Pape made a Rosé, this is what it would taste like. GREEN’S WINE BUYER

Dme de Paris Cote de Provence Rosé 2015Green’s Cash Sale Price: $12.99“Brilliant pale pink color; fine and pleasant nose with fruited notes where raspberry and wild strawberry are predominant. In mouth, fresh and delicious wine, well-balanced .”WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Victor Costieres de Nimes Rosé-2015Green’s Cash Sale Price: $10.99What a beautiful Rosé! It’s hard for me to select a favorite of this group as I liked them all, but if I had to point out just one it would be this wine. It’s got everything; an elegant light to medium pink color, a red fruit and watermelon-like aroma, and a flavor that is the perfect balance between acidity and fruit. It is from Costieres de Nimes, just west of Provence in the southern Rhone Valley.

Domaine Fazi Rosé Ile de Beaute-201Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99This is the fourth year we’ve been able to source this wine and it has become one of our customers’ favorite Rosés.
