Summer and Wine

The days are longer, the sky is blue, the sun is up every day....Summer is finally here! I just hope it sticks around long enough for the wedding. I've been spending much of my time down at English Bay, sitting on the sand, swimming in the ocean, enjoying the sunshine (wearing sunscreen of course) and having a great summer. The wedding is in two weeks, some of my friends are discovering new love; there's magic in the air. I think I might write this summer up as being the best summer ever.

What goes great with these wonderful hot summer days? I'll tell you, a nice cool glass of white wine and good company. Sitting on the balcony of our HOT HOT place eating salmon and a delicious salad I made of spinach, pear, blue cheese, green onion with a balsamic/olive oil dressing....Mmm, Mmm, Mmmm.

I picked up a bottle of Lindemans Bin 85 Pinot Grigio on my way home today. It's a little too acidic on the finish, but I thought I'd give it a try. It's a pretty good value wine for the summer. It's crisp and refreshing with notes of peach, honey and lemon.
