Summer Bounty
12-Bottle Sampler
by Tom Wolf
Summer is without a doubt my favorite time of the year to cook, even if much of the time, by “cook,” I really mean assemble. Is there anything better than biting into a juicy slice of tomato sprinkled with salt and drizzled with olive oil? Do any aromas reach the same intoxicating heights as freshly harvested basil, rosemary, or thyme—or a burger on the grill?
With the spoils of our gardens and farmers’ markets in mind, here are twelve wines in celebration of summer bounty . . .
Kermit once said...
I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
