Favorite Wines
One of my favorite wines would be from 14 Hands in Washington, USA. Especially their Cabernet Sauvignon which has a bold but smooth flavor.
As for whites, I'd definitely opt for a Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough because it is fresh, herbaceous, and citrusy!
A household favorite has got to be the Whispering Angel from France's Chateau d'Esclans - a medium-bodied Rosé that pairs very well with cheese, crackers, or just by itself.
The best part about this wine is it has elements of lemon, cantaloupe, with an added freshness of oranges and peaches. Yet, it isn't too fruity - a perfect summer wine!
