Interesting Whites

It's finally getting warm out and it's time to sit on the patio after your husband has finished mowing the lawn and have a glass of white wine.  (Of course while he drinks his beer).  There are many different wines out there, but in the spring/early summer is the best time to enjoy some of the different whites that have more crispness, acidity, and some touches of kiwi or pineapple to them.  We don't always have to reach for a Chardonnay.  Most people in the wine industry don't even drink Chardonnay!  Here is a somewhat short list of some great white wines mostly under $20. 

 -  Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc/Viognier
 - Elk Cove Pinot Gris (you really have to buy 2 of these, because 1 goes down too quickly)!
 - 14 Hands Hot to Trot White (great steal of a deal)
 - Seven Daughters White Blend
 - Peter Lehmann Layers White
 - New Age White (this has an effervescence to it, that means small amount of bubbles)!
 -  Sokol Blosser Evolution White
 - Masi Masianco (Italian Pinot Grigio)
 - Tangent Ecclestone
 - Tangent Albarino
 - Paco & Lola Albarino
 - Treana White (more than $20, so break this out for a special occasion)

I'm sure you all have had a Moscato wine.  Well, currently it is the most popular selling white wine.  What does that mean?  Everyone is now making a Moscato.  That doesn't mean they are all good, so if you are familiar with a certain winery, and you like their other wines, chances are it will probably be good too. 

 - Seven Daughters Moscato
 - Folie a deux Menage a trois Moscato
 - Marco Negri Moscato (this one is a bit pricier, but has been around forever and WORTH IT)
 - Ruffino Moscato
 - Middle Sister Sweet & Sassy Moscato (this is a fun one to give as gifts to those middle children)

Wanted to let you all have a list of some great items to buy and stock up on for the weekend!  Enjoy!
