SUMMER WINES

Summer 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 Ros?. (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.

WHITE WINES

Chateau de Fontenille Entre Deux Mers Blanc-2015

Green's Cash Sale Price: $9.99

*National Average Retail Price: $12.00

"Chateau de Fontenille Entre Deux Mers Blanc 2015 is made with a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris...A pale yellow wine with pleasing citrus and stone-fruit aromas on the nose, medium weight on the palate, nicely balanced with good lemon flavors, a hint of pepper and a good length."

Winemaker's Notes

Corvidae Mirth Chardonnay-2014

Green's Cash Sale Price: $9.99 *National Average Retail Price: $12.00

"The Mirth is quintessential Chardonnay exhibiting bright tropical notes and excellent purity of flavor and balance unencumbered by oak flavor. The wine is fermented and cellared in stainless steel to preserve its freshness and varietal character. Pair this refreshing Chardonnay with a chanterelle herb frittata, lemon roasted chicken, or a mango avocado and smoked salmon salad."

Saint Cosme - Little James' Basket Press White-2015

Green's Cash Sale Price: $9.99 "A blend of Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc that's aged all in tank. Showing the Viognier nicely, with plenty of apricot, citrus and marmalade notes, this soft, supple and decidedly delicious white should be purchased by the case as a mid-week drinker."

-THE ROS? EXPERTS THE 2015 VINTAGE HAS ARRIVED!

"Few wines are as easy-drinking, refreshing or as versatile as ros?. 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 ros?." Robert Parker

ROS? SEASON HAS BEGUN!

Over a decade ago, before Ros? became popular again,

had introduced our customers

to the joys of drinking dry Ros?. It is the perfect summertime wine. Cool and refreshing, and usually

moderately priced, Ros? is meant to be consumed without pretense. It is "just" a fun wine that is

delicious by itself or with almost any food.

DOMESTIC

Wolffer Estate `Summer in a Bottle' Ros? -2015

Green's Cash Sale Price: $18.99 The color of sunshine, this wine gives juicy aromas of summer fruit--ripe peach, apricot and cantaloupe-- along with honeysuckle and freshly cut hay. The mouth-feel is beautifully balanced. After the ripe lush fruit, including those on the nose plus lychee, come wonderful layers of acidity, yeasty lees notes and mouth-filling texture."

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

Elizabeth Spencer Mendocino Ros? of Grenache-2015

Green'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."

FRENCH

Cuvee Royale Tavel Ros?-2015

Green's Cash Sale Price: $14.99 The terroir of the vineyard of this wine is entirely "gal?ts 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 Ros?s we carry. If Chateauneuf-du-Pape made a Ros?, this is what it would taste like.

GREEN'S WINE BUYER

Dme de Paris Cote de Provence Ros? 2015

Green'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, wellbalanced ."

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

Guillaume Gonnet Cotes du Rhone "le Reveur" Ros?2015

Green's Cash Price: $11.99 "Guillaume Gonnet's beautifully complex ros? is distinguished by its vibrant red currant, crisp pomegranate, and pink grapefruit character. Wonderful

garrigue and soil intensity can be found throughout this dry wine."



Victor Costieres de Nimes Ros?-2015

Green's Cash Sale Price: $10.99 What a beautiful Ros?! 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.

GREEN'S WINE BUYER

Chateau Cornut Costieres de Nimes Ros?2015

Green's Cash Price: $9.99 "This dry ros? from Ch?teau Cornut displays ripe raspberry and strawberry. It is very fresh and crisp in style, with a juicy, crowd-pleasing middle palate. The intriguing finish is enhanced by hints of wet stone and slight notes of smoky herbs."



Domaine Fazi Ros? Ile de Beaute-201

Green's Cash Sale Price: $9.99 This is the fourth year we've been able to source this wine and it has become one of our customers' favorite Ros?s. Made from four grape varieties, 35% Sciaccarellu, 30% Merlot, 25% Grenache, and 10% Cinsault, the major component, Sciaccarellu, is a native grape variety of the island. Close in appearance to the Pinot Noir grape, the wine from this grape displays an aroma similar to Pinot as well.

"Oeil de Perdrix" in color (that's fancy French talk for very pale Ros?), indeed it has a light tint of bronze blended with
