Dee Duff’s Pick
Gramercy Cellars Picpoul Walla Walla Valley 2024
Picpoul, which translates as "lip stinger" from the Occitan dialect of Southern France, is a crisp and refreshing high acid white wine that pairs perfectly with the hot Texas summers that are just around the corner. Though the grape has evoved to do well in the hot climates of Southern France, Paso Robles, and Texas, this example from the Les Collines Vineyard at the base of the Blue Mountains bursts with the lift and clarity you can only get from a cool climate. The nose is Bartlet pair, white peach, lime pith, and white flowers, which comes accross on the palate, along with searing acidity, and refreshing salinity. Pair this with oysters, some Texas red fish, or the closest body of water!
JD Arredondo’s Pick

We are well into Rosé season, and the Marine Layer Carina is the perfect Rosé for your next bottle. It is made from a mix of 85% Pinot Noir and 25% Grenache from the cool Sonoma Coast. This is a crisp and light Rosé with great notes of strawberries and nectarines on the nose. The palate will delight with juicy watermelon, apples, and refreshing acidity making this the perfect poolside wine. Pair this with a sunny day, great friends, and your favorite backyard fare.
