Sabrina on 07.26.2011 at 09:32 AM
At the moment…Honig’s Sauvignon Blanc Rutherford
Jessica Prescott on 07.26.2011 at 09:33 AM
Vino Verde is such a good wine to get the party going on a hot summer night. It’s fresh and crisp !
Anni on 07.26.2011 at 09:34 AM
I would serve my guests some champagne or sparkling wine!
Dean on 07.26.2011 at 09:34 AM
The alcoholic kind!

Kendra on 07.26.2011 at 09:36 AM
Definitely a cool Riesling.
Laura on 07.26.2011 at 09:36 AM
Prosecco!
Gaijintendo on 07.26.2011 at 09:36 AM
I like to serve up a nice Cava. It’s pleasing, sweet and makes the conversation flow.
Cheers!
Taryn on 07.26.2011 at 09:37 AM
My favorite summer wine for serving to guests during an evening party would be a Diseno Malbec. Yummy!!!
Vosje62 on 07.26.2011 at 09:39 AM
Champagne… What else????
Linda on 07.26.2011 at 09:39 AM
A chilled Sauvignon Blanc.
Mary Ann Hupp on 07.26.2011 at 09:40 AM

rcmayes on 07.26.2011 at 09:40 AM
Red Guitar!
Alfredo on 07.26.2011 at 09:40 AM
Especially for summer evenings, I have become fond of Spanish Riojas. A very refreshing red wine. My favorite is Marquez de Caceres.
Beth on 07.26.2011 at 09:42 AM
Plenty of Kendall Jackson Riesling – cold.
Lee Anne Chesnutt on 07.26.2011 at 09:44 AM

we love serving wine from the places we’ve traveled. it always brings about good conversation!
Chris on 07.26.2011 at 09:46 AM
Definitely not Wild Irish Rose…I swear.
Morgan on 07.26.2011 at 09:46 AM
For Summer soirees we’re most likely to serve up one of our favorite Sauvignon Blancs; Quintessa Illumination, Merry Edwards, Round Pond Bovet or Flora Springs– all very good and best when nice and chilled!
Sara on 07.26.2011 at 09:46 AM
A crisp white wine, Bonterra chardonnay
Emily on 07.26.2011 at 09:48 AM
Hess! I love CA whites!
Candice on 07.26.2011 at 09:48 AM
Depends on the food and the crowd, but some tops are: Chateau St Michelle Riesling, Cava or Prosecco with a little St. Germaine, and Ménage à Trois – great ripe fresh flavored red. Perfect for summer grilling too.
Rikki on 07.26.2011 at 09:48 AM
As much as I love red, I always want to serve a chilled sauvignon blanc in this summer heat!
Robert on 07.26.2011 at 09:49 AM
There is nothing like chilled Portuguese Green Wine!
Neil on 07.26.2011 at 09:49 AM
Egri Bikavér – Bull’s Blood of Egar. Hungary knows how to make ‘em. Plus, I just found a bottle from the 80′s in my attic!
Natalia on 07.26.2011 at 09:50 AM
A chilled riesling
Scot on 07.26.2011 at 09:50 AM

Ivan Golinko on 07.26.2011 at 09:54 AM
A nice mineral-y Prosecco
Andreas on 07.26.2011 at 09:55 AM
Anything with Shiraz grapes…
candy Alhadeff on 07.26.2011 at 09:56 AM
I am a South African living in New York City and nothing reminds me of home more than a crisp clean glass of white wine. Preferably Spear (if I can find it in NYC)
Kristen on 07.26.2011 at 09:57 AM
Right now it’s a Coppola Rosso.
Kerry on 07.26.2011 at 09:58 AM

Kara on 07.26.2011 at 10:04 AM
If I had a summer party, I would serve Inniskillin Sparkling Vidal icewine – if only I could afford multiple bottles!
Susan Yonemura on 07.26.2011 at 10:05 AM
Love spicy foods during the summer, so I’d pair with a gewurtztraminer or riesling
Nate on 07.26.2011 at 10:09 AM
Francis Coppola
Emily on 07.26.2011 at 10:11 AM

uh, whatever is on BOGO at publix!
Lu on 07.26.2011 at 10:19 AM

John Wilke on 07.26.2011 at 10:20 AM
Barnett Vineyards 2009 Pinot Noir
CP on 07.26.2011 at 10:21 AM
A good spanish red mixed in a sangria!
Andre G. on 07.26.2011 at 10:22 AM
Colorful plastic plates help make my picnic settings decorative, while eliminating a lot of the unwanted cleanup afterward.
Whitney on 07.26.2011 at 10:22 AM
I love making fresh Sangria! My favorite wine to use is a cab-sav.. It has a rich flavor that can hold its own against the fruit, but still be oh-so-refreshing!
Ed on 07.26.2011 at 10:22 AM
My all time favorite is from the Gallo family… a little Rosé goes a long way on a hot summer day!
Lynn on 07.26.2011 at 10:27 AM
Colonial Red from James River Cellars Winery!
Angela on 07.26.2011 at 10:27 AM
Homemade peach sangria!! Yummmm!
jerry on 07.26.2011 at 10:28 AM
Montesarra’s Cava Brut is a sparkly way to start any summer gathering.
Mike Yu on 07.26.2011 at 10:35 AM
Gloria Ferrer Brut or some mimosas
Emily Pinkelman on 07.26.2011 at 10:38 AM
I love red but in the summer a chilled white is the way to go. Probably a riesling or chardonnay from California. Always delicious!
Burak Eryigit on 07.26.2011 at 10:39 AM
I like serving Kavaklidere Cankaya White Wine. It has a very distinctive but lovely taste in it.
Whitney on 07.26.2011 at 10:41 AM
Champaign.
Joe B on 07.26.2011 at 10:43 AM
Best is to beat the heat with some fresh fruit, light Hors d’oeuvre and a crisp white.
Josh on 07.26.2011 at 10:54 AM
nice dry refreshing sauvignon blanc
Karl on 07.26.2011 at 10:56 AM
In the summer heat nothing beats a cool Pinot Gris.
Shauna on 07.26.2011 at 10:59 AM
You really can’t lose with some rose champagne in the summer….or anytime, really!
Sarah on 07.26.2011 at 11:00 AM
I love to serve both a nice crisp sauvignon blanc, coupled with a good spanish red made into sweet & delicious sangria!
DowntownTBrown on 07.26.2011 at 11:01 AM
I’ve been sharing Moscato d’Asti with anyone who will take a sip!
sarahmae on 07.26.2011 at 11:04 AM
really cold santa margherita prosecco
Bridget on 07.26.2011 at 11:08 AM
For everyday, something from Bota Box or 2 buck chuck. That’s how we roll.
Daniel on 07.26.2011 at 11:13 AM
Gewurztraminer for the summer!
Kevin on 07.26.2011 at 11:14 AM
I always enjoy serving a riesling, or (if it is really hot outside) a fruit wine (blackberry wine is especially nice to cool off) .
Jeff Porter on 07.26.2011 at 11:14 AM
I love to start with Champagne, so a glass of Gaston-Chique Brut Tradition!
Sonja on 07.26.2011 at 11:17 AM
An Albarino or some prosecco sangria
Leeroy! on 07.26.2011 at 11:17 AM
We always serve Dr. Konstantin Frank’s, a local wine from my fiance’s home town. I love the Muscat the best! Perfect for a summer day!
Jacob Wenger on 07.26.2011 at 11:18 AM
I definitely go for cabernet suavignon!
Charity Myers on 07.26.2011 at 11:20 AM
Pinot Grigio! Yum! Cool, crisp and delicious!
David Abramson on 07.26.2011 at 11:20 AM
Tintero Moscato d’ Asti!
Jeff Vidt on 07.26.2011 at 11:23 AM
I generally prefer the reisling, but any refreshing white will do!
IndyIndie on 07.26.2011 at 11:27 AM
I’m currently favoring Biokult’s Gruner Veltliner, nice, light and refreshing while still having some bright and even spicy notes. Great with fish and pineapple or peach salsa.
Doug Robinson on 07.26.2011 at 11:29 AM
A favorite is a local wine from across the border in Canada, Cave Springs Riesling Reserve. Light, dry, and perfect for a summer’s day. (and world class as well).
Sarah on 07.26.2011 at 11:32 AM
I love to serve a nicely chilled, crisp and refreshing sauvignon blanc!
Ivan D on 07.26.2011 at 11:35 AM
A nice Pinot Noir – chilled a bit for the warm weather.
Sara Rophie on 07.26.2011 at 11:36 AM
Rioja!
Igor Pismensky on 07.26.2011 at 11:37 AM
Sangria of course. You can go red or white or both. Plenty of ice to help chill a hot night, munch on the fruit and spike it if you want more of a kick. You can buy a cheap brand, doctor it up and have plenty for the crowd.
yvonne p. on 07.26.2011 at 11:57 AM
I like to serve wine with fun and stylish labels, preferably with labels that match the theme of the get together. :)
Steven on 07.26.2011 at 12:03 PM
A fresh and ice-cold Boschendal Rosé!
minusmanhattan on 07.26.2011 at 12:14 PM
I’ve been on a Prosecco kick recently.
Pedro Nunes on 07.26.2011 at 12:24 PM
It’s inevitable… If you are from the Northern Portugal, like me, the right choice will be to fill it with an Alvarinho wine like “Quintas de Melgaço”.
Erik on 07.26.2011 at 12:26 PM
Charles Shaw, because A) I’m super classy and B) My friends tend do favor volume over quality.
Joshua on 07.26.2011 at 12:31 PM
Being a 25 year old gay man making his way in the social sphere, I love to keep colorful bottles with expensive names on display. It says look at me, I’ve been places. However, the fact is that nothing will ever be as popular with the people I really love to hang with as a bottle of Korbel…or three.
Paul Stonier on 07.26.2011 at 12:32 PM
Red Newt Cellars’ Circle Riesling.
steve payne on 07.26.2011 at 12:33 PM
I like a good cabernet
Kirk Sporman on 07.26.2011 at 12:44 PM
a good German Riesling – nice fruity smooth flow
Annie D on 07.26.2011 at 12:45 PM
It varies on the food, the mood, and so many other factors, but lately it has been Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay.
Brandon Salisbury on 07.26.2011 at 12:46 PM
A Czech Red from my local winery.
Anna-Maria Kiho on 07.26.2011 at 12:46 PM
A lovely prosecco!
Snarkier Than You on 07.26.2011 at 12:50 PM
I like to mix it up, but try to have a nice Sauv Blanc on hand as well as a quaffable red for people like me who don’t switch to white for the summer months. : )
Eric on 07.26.2011 at 12:50 PM
Nothing says summer like a Spanish red.
Shannon on 07.26.2011 at 12:50 PM
A bright, juicy beaujolais or gamay, of course!
Rah on 07.26.2011 at 12:50 PM
A chilled riesling is always a great choice on a hot summer day.
kmm on 07.26.2011 at 12:51 PM
russian river valley chardonnay
Christina Lopez on 07.26.2011 at 12:52 PM
A nice cool, refreshingly chilled bottle of Charles Shaw, also known as, Two Buck Chuck. Dont’ judge, I’m in grad school and need to find cheap ways to cool down and destress!
Jeff on 07.26.2011 at 12:52 PM
A dry red wine with brandy, Cointreau, and lemon Vodka + fruits for the perfect Sangria
Amanda May on 07.26.2011 at 12:53 PM
I like to serve a variety, and I have to admit I often buy for a nice label. But my recent favorite has been Sobon Estates merlot, nice and smooth and not too bitter.
Natali on 07.26.2011 at 12:53 PM
White zinfandel all the way!! often Barefoot
Duncan Fairweather on 07.26.2011 at 12:54 PM
When hosting summer soirees, what is your favorite wine to serve your guests?
Zaca Mesa Z-Cuvee
Trish on 07.26.2011 at 12:55 PM
I love to serve a Vino Verde, it’s refreshing and has a slighter less alcohol content, which is perfect for hot, summery afternoons!
Dan on 07.26.2011 at 12:55 PM
Sin Zin, of course!
Kyle on 07.26.2011 at 12:55 PM
Whyte Horse Winery Traminette
Will Lopez on 07.26.2011 at 12:58 PM
Allan Scott Millstone Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Very refreshing.
Ash Miller on 07.26.2011 at 12:59 PM
Has to be a good bottle of black tower :)
Sara R. on 07.26.2011 at 12:59 PM
I love a nice prosecco. Festive and delicious!
Jennie on 07.26.2011 at 13:04 PM

Lauren Kobayashi on 07.26.2011 at 13:08 PM
Chilled riesling!
Scott O on 07.26.2011 at 13:17 PM
I love a nice chard in the loaming of the day.
Mary Margaret Sparks on 07.26.2011 at 13:22 PM
My favorite wine to serve at summer soirees is Cotes de Provence Rose. It’s made with Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and more. It’s light and refreshing.
ethan levine on 07.26.2011 at 13:22 PM
Big House White from the box baby
Abbey on 07.26.2011 at 13:23 PM
I’m all about white–so an excellently chilled Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc has been my recent go-to.
Mark Hulme on 07.26.2011 at 13:24 PM
Pinot – either Grigio or Noir.
nicholas on 07.26.2011 at 13:29 PM
A crisp white savignoun blanc
Ben on 07.26.2011 at 13:29 PM
There was a blueberry wine made by a local winery made when we lived in Florida, and it was FANTASTIC. Guests always complimented the wine, and many long, conversation-filled nights were had with those bottles. Unfortunately, since moving up to Boston, we’ve yet to find anything that comes close.
Johanna Harma on 07.26.2011 at 13:40 PM
A nice Rioja. If it’s a really hot day then sparkling wine!
Mike Mishik on 07.26.2011 at 13:42 PM
Argentinean Malbec!
Becky Beamer on 07.26.2011 at 13:43 PM
My fav summer wine is actually Sangria. Spice it up party people!
Cate on 07.26.2011 at 13:44 PM
Chilled Prosecco buono!
Lauren on 07.26.2011 at 13:46 PM
Good Sauvignon Blanc
Drew on 07.26.2011 at 13:50 PM
Gotta give this party Prosecco and a good, affordable red…Ménage à Trois…complete with some truly awesome appetizers.
Sam on 07.26.2011 at 13:50 PM
Robert Craig affinity
Toe on 07.26.2011 at 13:52 PM
For Summer parties it’s chilled Pinot Grigio and Sangria. For Winter parties I like to serve mulled wine or a Merlot.
Kenny on 07.26.2011 at 13:52 PM
Haven’t yet gone wrong with a Sauvignon Blanc.
Nikki on 07.26.2011 at 13:57 PM
Champagne!!

Kelvin livingstone on 07.26.2011 at 14:06 PM
Got to be a decadent pouilly fuisee.
Jessica on 07.26.2011 at 14:12 PM
I like to serve sparkling wine to myself and others during the summer!
Minna on 07.26.2011 at 14:19 PM
Homemade sangria! OR, better still, sangria popsicles!
A nice chilled sweet red will do, too!
Minna on 07.26.2011 at 14:20 PM
Champagne cocktails do just fine, too!
Gregoire on 07.26.2011 at 14:24 PM
A fresh Pouilly Fume, for sure!
Jessica B. on 07.26.2011 at 14:24 PM
My absolute favorite wine – for both taste and personal reasons – is from the little known Hux Vineyards. My co-worker’s brother founded it about 10 years ago and was diagnosed with terminal cancer shortly after. Now his whole extended family runs it, about four times a year they all gather to plant, harvest, and bottle it themselves. The reds are nice but their whites are really smooth and wonderful for summer. I’ve never had a guest complain when I pull a bottle of it out!
DeNacho on 07.26.2011 at 14:24 PM
Pillar Box White – if i can find it! it’s my go-to white!
Wendy A on 07.26.2011 at 14:25 PM
Definitely a rosé, preferably from Provence.
Alex on 07.26.2011 at 14:30 PM
A nice, dry rose is a wonderful summer wine.
Josh on 07.26.2011 at 14:34 PM

Meredith on 07.26.2011 at 14:48 PM
I usually will serve a Rose, especially if we are dining, otherwise a vihno verde or cava/prosecco with some fruit puree.
bruekelen on 07.26.2011 at 14:49 PM
A nice chilled bottle of Moscato d’Asti
JZ on 07.26.2011 at 14:49 PM
Australia’s fat n skinny hastwell lightfoot fleurieu, tastes like summer gone tipsy
Albis Del Barrio on 07.26.2011 at 14:50 PM
A chilled Sauvignon Blanc.

Francis Coppola Diamond Merlot
JB on 07.26.2011 at 15:06 PM
A chilled Sauvignon Blanc
Brent on 07.26.2011 at 15:09 PM
The Crios Torrentes and Otu Sauvignon blanc, because one is never enough.
Emily on 07.26.2011 at 15:17 PM
Summer parties are perfect with blackberry or rhubarb wine from our local Ohio wineries.
Kadia Khanan on 07.26.2011 at 15:17 PM
I would serve CHATEAU MARGAUT. It’s the best red wine out there!
Kadia
Christian H. on 07.26.2011 at 15:28 PM
I like Villa Tabernus Cuvee Weiss.
Janet on 07.26.2011 at 15:51 PM
Anything white.
Dan Wilson on 07.26.2011 at 16:00 PM
A beautiful juicy white wine Sangria of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc
ari on 07.26.2011 at 16:08 PM
2 buck chuck. Because i always have 20 guests. Otherwise some ’09 Pinot from a local vineyard.
Dominic Hainje on 07.26.2011 at 16:16 PM
Nicely chilled Prosecco, of course!
Kelly John Rose on 07.26.2011 at 16:17 PM
With a good steak, Rosemount Shiraz is fantastic. It’s reasonably priced and just fruity enough to be enjoyable after the steak is all finished.
Suzanne Corriveau on 07.26.2011 at 16:18 PM
I love a good white from the Niagara region. My favourite is a Riesling named Homegrown. So popular in fact that our local liquor shop sells out of it before I can get my hands on it…
Josh on 07.26.2011 at 16:45 PM
Definitely a sweet Riesling or an ice wine.
Heather on 07.26.2011 at 16:56 PM
I love to serve a nice gewurztraminer or gruner veltliner. Crisp, buttery and sweet all at the same time. What a wonderful summer treat.
Perry Cornelius on 07.26.2011 at 17:02 PM
Vermentino di Gallura. Always a treat.
Brandon on 07.26.2011 at 17:18 PM
Kim Crawford Sauv. Blanc or Nobilo Icon Sauv. Blanc – both are crowd pleasers in the summer heat!
Kyle on 07.26.2011 at 17:29 PM
Cabernet!
Chef Patty G on 07.26.2011 at 17:36 PM
Toques et Clochers Crémant de Limoux NV ($16)
Love the fruity flavor. Cheap price for a rich flavorful wine.
Sabrina M on 07.26.2011 at 17:52 PM
For a summer evening soiree on the patio, I go with Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2007. To fancy it up, I go with Williams Selyem Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2006.
Matt on 07.26.2011 at 17:59 PM
Ladies seem to like when I serve Argyle Sparkling Wine!

Geoff on 07.26.2011 at 18:03 PM
After hearing it described as “the perfect wine to pair with chili” i’ve been a fan of Black Pig Albarino ever since. It’s a great wine to serve (slightly) chilled while grilling if you ask me and i’m not even normally a fan of white wines.
John Munkholm on 07.26.2011 at 18:25 PM
I would love to share some real nice white
JH on 07.26.2011 at 18:27 PM
Pinot Noir in a chilled glass.
John Munkholm on 07.26.2011 at 18:27 PM
Love me some red
Amit on 07.26.2011 at 18:30 PM
Viñedo Chadwick from Chile is my current favourite
Colleen M on 07.26.2011 at 19:05 PM
I love serving my favorite wines like J Lohr or Smoking Loon. Red or white, love those labels because they are inexpensive and delicious.
Jessica on 07.26.2011 at 19:07 PM
I make the best sangria (white or red) but if I have to choose a label, Cannonball has a chardonnay I actually enjoy!
Jeff in DC on 07.26.2011 at 19:37 PM
I like to serve my guests Txakolina!

Vino Verde, a light white wine with notes of green apple. It’s available from Trader Joes, its cheap and it’s perfect for sipping on the porch on a warm summer day.
Ashlee Smith on 07.26.2011 at 19:54 PM
Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cab Sauvignon and Pinot noir. Sangria too!

Sibil on 07.26.2011 at 20:55 PM
chilled riesling!
sorilea on 07.26.2011 at 21:13 PM
I usually pick from the few options available to me where I live, but when I travel I try to pick up a few good looking ones. I really like smoky reds, but since people’s tastes are so varied, I try to serve good middle-of-the-road wines like chardonnays and mixed reds. They seem to go over better than more complex wines.
dave on 07.26.2011 at 21:22 PM
a delicate and refreshing (very) dry rosé is my go-to.
Brandina Vines on 07.26.2011 at 21:27 PM
I usually prefer to serve a Riesling :)
Theresa Hahn on 07.26.2011 at 21:29 PM
I love to serve sangria with apples and grapes. This electolux would really help me stock up instead of keeping some at my neighbors.

Arlene on 07.26.2011 at 22:18 PM

Vinho Verde, it’s refreshing and light enough that you can have several glasses and still be perfectly functional.
Jarrod on 07.27.2011 at 00:08 AM

C morgan on 07.27.2011 at 03:17 AM

In the warm/hot summer? Chilled Chablis! (go old world or go home!)
Courtney on 07.27.2011 at 03:22 AM
During my summer parties, I find that a crisp viogner is acceptable by all who attend. Heading for the bottle opener now, on the warm California evening…

David Koslow on 07.27.2011 at 07:30 AM

Shawn on 07.27.2011 at 07:46 AM
Rioja – Muga Rosado
Deb on 07.27.2011 at 08:03 AM
Anything from my basement wine rack b/c I’m always worried that something is past it’s prime down there….especially in the summer. Even tho it’s an 1828 basement and pretty cool with all the fieldstone, it’s really not the best! LIKE THIS which is BTW, Gorgeous!!
Jared on 07.27.2011 at 08:11 AM

Brian A on 07.27.2011 at 08:38 AM
Anything from the Texas Hill Country.
Kaelyn on 07.27.2011 at 08:54 AM
I’m all about Prosecco right now. With a peach or strawberry garnish for summer!
Katie Stuart on 07.27.2011 at 08:55 AM
I serve whichever Sauvignon Blanc label strikes my fancy at Trader Joe’s. I buy wine based on the cleverness of the label. I figure good taste in design…good taste in wine.
Bruno Santiago on 07.27.2011 at 09:18 AM
With so much good Wines to choose in Portugal, i would serve my guests a 2005 Quinta do Vale Meao red wine from the Douro region.
Good, earthy fruit, a lot of cherry and plums. Nice long palate, with firm tannin and outstanding balance, weight and fruit.
Frank hasper on 07.27.2011 at 09:32 AM
Viognier! The best varietal of white wine around.
Alle on 07.27.2011 at 09:51 AM
Tutiac—nice crisp white; or a sauvignon blanc from New Zealand.
Elizabeth on 07.27.2011 at 09:55 AM
Vino verde! Cool, crisp and a touch of bubbles… delish!
David on 07.27.2011 at 10:26 AM
A chilled Clos Du Val Ariande hits the spot.
gloria on 07.27.2011 at 10:31 AM
a nice pinot grigio–i think of it as porch wine!
ed chang on 07.27.2011 at 10:38 AM
A chilled Sauvignon Blanc is my best choice!
Leo on 07.27.2011 at 10:44 AM
i love Lovingston Rotunda Red wine!!
Lola on 07.27.2011 at 10:48 AM
Maybe this is a little cheezy, but I love serving Verdi Spumante. I recently attended a spring wedding that served it, and it is a wine that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of celebration.
kali on 07.27.2011 at 10:49 AM
proseco for summer evenings!
Nick on 07.27.2011 at 11:02 AM
Whatever is recommended by the staff at our local wine shop!
bklyngrrl on 07.27.2011 at 11:10 AM
A vino verde is always well received, and economical to boot!
Malia on 07.27.2011 at 11:18 AM
Used to be a nice white wine but lately I’ve been enjoying red sangrias.
Alisa on 07.27.2011 at 11:31 AM
Last served was a chilled Albarino. Next served will hopefully be a peach and apple filled white sangria. Thanks for the giveaway!
Roseanna on 07.27.2011 at 12:05 PM
I love serving Prosecco, or Pinot Grigio.
Starla on 07.27.2011 at 12:44 PM

Frank Bushell on 07.27.2011 at 12:45 PM
A chilled white Orvieto Classico
Michael on 07.27.2011 at 12:54 PM
A brut champagne with a strawberry! The strawberry gives it just a hint of sweetness and then is a little sweet treat for afterwards.
Kit Dombrowski on 07.27.2011 at 12:55 PM
Prosecco, well chilled, says summer to me.
Sarah B. on 07.27.2011 at 12:57 PM
I like Pacific Rim’s Sweet Riesling – it’s easy on the wallet, and light and fruity!
Peggy Hamilton on 07.27.2011 at 13:30 PM
In summer, I love to serve and drink Tavel rose! And I would love an Electrolux wine cooler to enhance my wine storage!
S Muse on 07.27.2011 at 13:48 PM
Prosecco!
Raysha A. on 07.27.2011 at 13:49 PM
Unfortunately I have yet to try a wide variety of wines, since I turned 21 a mere month ago. But from what I have had, a white or sparkling wine is great to have for a low-key get together with friends.
Julian on 07.27.2011 at 14:11 PM
Reisling
Carol on 07.27.2011 at 15:02 PM
I’m with Lu, Pinot Grigio is great tasting and pretty consistent from winery to winery.
frank on 07.27.2011 at 16:06 PM
Tempranillo – fruity wine perfect for the start of an evening
Savanah on 07.27.2011 at 16:39 PM
I like to get one bottle of wine different countries around the world. All the choices give are a conversation starter, if nothing else. :)
Claudia on 07.27.2011 at 17:28 PM
My all-time favorite wine is Beringer’s Nightengale.
Amy on 07.27.2011 at 17:30 PM
I’m partial to prosecco.
Brandon on 07.27.2011 at 17:42 PM
Infinite Monkey theorem!!!
Prosecco is indeed good for summer as well
Melita on 07.27.2011 at 19:15 PM
Definitely french champagne (it may be my favorite, doesn’t mean I can afford it ;))
Sarah on 07.27.2011 at 20:00 PM
A medium bodied Cabernet Sauvingnon on cool summer nights
holly on 07.27.2011 at 20:26 PM
i like to serve a very cold rosé. mark ryan or airfield both make wonderful versions.
Alfredo on 07.27.2011 at 20:41 PM
I like to serve a nice rosso out on the patio. Although I keep a Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay on hand for my friends who prefer white.
JEK on 07.27.2011 at 21:56 PM
Cooled Riesling… Dr H Thanisch ’08 is a good choice ;-)
Ida on 07.27.2011 at 21:59 PM
A good bottle of Pinot Gris!
Amanda D on 07.27.2011 at 22:06 PM
We love to serve red AND white sangria with our favorite wines and fresh fruit Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Craig white on 07.27.2011 at 22:50 PM
A crisp rose
Jereme Pitts on 07.28.2011 at 01:32 AM
A rose from Santa barbara. It always surprises people.
shel on 07.28.2011 at 02:22 AM
Any good box wine is my choice; I like Gallo or Franzia
J Hanson on 07.28.2011 at 03:31 AM
Laurelhurst Cellars “Laurus Nobilis”- amazing!!!
Lori K. on 07.28.2011 at 03:53 AM
We love to serve Liberty School Cabernet to our guests for 3 reasons: Everyone comments on how soft and fruity it is and it compliments a variety of foods, it doesn’t break the bank and we have a sentimental attachment (we served it at our wedding).
Robusto on 07.28.2011 at 04:05 AM
Chardonnay, CA preferred
Victoria Marie on 07.28.2011 at 04:15 AM
I know should say white wine, especially on a hot day. But,…I love my red wines especially Cabernet wines! At the moment I am into Italian reds and are trying a few….to say the least. If I were to have a summer party I would definitely have a variety on hand since not every one likes the same red wine!
I would LOVE to have this wine cooler! Where I live it’s VERY humid in the summer and so it is difficult to have various wines on hand unless I purchase them the day before. The fridge is a little too cold for my wines!!
http://victoriainjapanland.blogspot.com
Chris Owens on 07.28.2011 at 04:24 AM
Something from Caduceus Cellars hopefully.
Nick V. on 07.28.2011 at 10:24 AM

Ian on 07.28.2011 at 11:35 AM
Nothing like some chilled Rosé to class up a yacht party
T. Eggers on 07.28.2011 at 12:13 PM
A crisp and grassy New Zealand sauvignon blanc pleases almost everyone when it is a little steamy out!
stefan b on 07.28.2011 at 12:18 PM
Dry German Riesling, my favorite: Forster Ungeheuer or Forster Stift/ Lucashof
Alternatively a Sauvignon blancs/Sancerre.
If you like it sparkling, a prosecco is a nice alternative.
Vincent Cole on 07.28.2011 at 14:31 PM
Bulmers with a glass with ice
the bottle looks like wine
Sigita on 07.28.2011 at 19:27 PM
The Pancake white wine at Trader Joes! Its cheap and delicious :)
Travis Downing on 07.28.2011 at 19:42 PM
If it’s a barbecue, Priorat or Rhone reds. For my white wine drinking friends, I’d offer Sauv. Blanc or Riesling from the Columbia Valley.
Michael Verdirame on 07.28.2011 at 21:23 PM
Chardonette from a local Long Island vineyard.

I made the mistake of reading other comments and was reminded of too many options! Sangria, champagne, Riesling, etc… All great.
Dre on 07.29.2011 at 07:41 AM
Gato Negro brand is stupidly cheap and stupidly drinkable. A winner!
Steve on 07.29.2011 at 09:29 AM
Cerrato Moscato d’Asti! Serve it over or with some peach ice cream… awesome.
Dale on 07.29.2011 at 13:46 PM
I serve a nice fruity ice cold sauvignon blanc. yum yum.
am on 07.29.2011 at 13:49 PM
sangria is always a goodie!
monique on 07.29.2011 at 13:54 PM
In the Texas summer I would serve a rose like the Bonny Doon Vineyard 2007 California Vin Gris de Cigare
pennie taylor on 07.29.2011 at 13:59 PM
vinho verde! the colder the better.
Corie on 07.29.2011 at 14:08 PM
Delish sparkling wine with a shot of ginger liquor! YUM!

Sabrina on 07.30.2011 at 19:08 PM
I’ve been migrating from Spanish to South American wines, and like to encourage my friends to try wines they haven’t had.
I like to go with Albarinos and Chilean Sauvignon Blancs on summer evenings.
Reena on 07.30.2011 at 20:12 PM
my absolute fav is banrock station’s pink moscato, a delicately sweet australian rose! i’d love to fill an electrolux wine cooler with it! :) and it would match perfectly with my electrolux icon fridge! ;)
Ron Miller on 07.30.2011 at 20:34 PM

dudley on 07.30.2011 at 22:53 PM
without a doubt, you cant go wrong with a spottswoode sauvignon blanc…
mary on 07.30.2011 at 23:31 PM
Dry Riesling from New York state
Eugenia on 07.30.2011 at 23:33 PM
St. Supery Dollarhide Sauvignon blanc….bright, crisp and refreshing. Everything you want in a summer wine.
Jen on 07.31.2011 at 00:46 AM
We love a fab glass of Champagne or Prosecco in the pool, or if we are staying table side- a glass Napa River Sauv Blanc or Green Fin from Trader Joes! Cheap and easy- but tasty!
A must add to any of these are FROZEN GRAPES (so as not to dilute, but to chill)as we are in Las Vegas and nothing stays cool here in the Summer except Elvis!
Shad Wanless on 07.31.2011 at 02:08 AM
Honestly we are big fans of BareFoot Wine. Any kind, the price is great and the win is better. [email protected]
Ruben Van Durme on 07.31.2011 at 07:24 AM
Champagne !!!
denise shindle on 07.31.2011 at 10:12 AM
We usually have a few chardonnays, sauvignon blancs, roses & for those of us who like sangria…home-made sangria! All is kept cool in a huge cooler with plenty of ice! Everything is kept simple on the grill!

Sparkling Italian, Moscato d’Asti
Laura on 07.31.2011 at 13:08 PM

Barefoot Pino Grigio
Michiel Nagtegaal on 07.31.2011 at 13:30 PM
This superb winecooler would definitely be at its coolest in our soon to be placed designer kitchen! It will certainly be filled with a Tres Palacios Merlot Reserva from Chile!
Ed Cunningham on 07.31.2011 at 13:36 PM
I’m with CP – A good Spanish red mixed in sangria tops my list!

My favorite wine to serve is a 2006 Iron Horse Rosé de Pinot Noir from lovely Sonoma County, CA. You can usually find it between 13 and 17 dollars and it packs in impressive but delicate punch. It’s a Pinot Noir Rose so it isn’t as pale as most but it’s crisp and tastes amazing while enjoying manchego and grapes al fresco. :)

a crisp Sterling Chardonnay.

I love a perfectly chilled chardonnay in the summer- no favorites, but the dryer the better!

I like to sever St. Julian American Raspberry Spumante in the afternoon and change to a Johnson Estate Lake Erie Concord in the evening. Both are light and flavorful with a hint of summer flavor.

I’ve been on a huge Sangria kick this summer. it’s so refreshing during this heatwave and you can do it differently every time!

My favorite wines to serve at summer soirees consist of fume blanc and, a lightly chilled, pinot noir … and in addition anything that we come back with from a weekend in Santa Barbara wine country :D

We usually have big parties, so my absolute favorite wine to serve is something nice that a friend has thoughtfully chosen and brought to the party.

A French Sancerre..could really use a cooler like this to serve it at the perfect temp!
Amy Kim on 07.31.2011 at 22:13 PM
Malbec with a perfect cut of beef!
Steve on 07.31.2011 at 22:21 PM
Moscato. It’s light, semi-sweet, and refreshing, with a bit of carbonation.
Terra Brozowski on 07.31.2011 at 22:31 PM
White…..a nice Pinot.
Brandi on 07.31.2011 at 22:36 PM
Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect grapefruity white at the perfect price point. :)
Eli on 07.31.2011 at 22:38 PM
Chardonnay all the way!
Steve on 07.31.2011 at 23:45 PM
A crisp Verde from Portugal, a rose from southern France (Le Beaux if you can find it), or a simple, sparkling Prosecco (La Marca has been our fav as of late).
Mike on 07.31.2011 at 23:51 PM
One of my favorites to serve is the Michael David Petit Syrah!
Vanessa on 08.01.2011 at 00:32 AM
A glass of Vouvray.
Mathieu on 08.01.2011 at 00:42 AM
A white Tariquet, well chilled. My favorite summer wine from France!
