"summer red wine" news and stories

During the summer it's typical to turn to white wines. But what if your preference is for red? Don't fret, there are many options out there for red-wine drinkers once the temperature outdoors turns muggy, humid and stifling. (In other words, we won't force you to down a deeply acidic white like Sauvignon Blanc or Moscato d'Asti!)

Generally, you should look for lighter-bodied reds that still have some complexity (spices and bright fruit) and will pair well with barbecued meats and fish, or salads incorporating summer vegetables.
