In the Summertime

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Tapeña Wines. The whites flow like water in our house.  It is close to 100 degrees here every day and the humidity.  Oh the humidity.  The weather cries out for tart white wines or a cold cold beer.  Something I have also [...]

Yo ‘ho
