Our wine stewards put together the perfect list of wines for this perfect weather—from fruity and flowery to melony and crisp. All of these wines are best served slightly chilled and are terrific for an early season cookout with friends.

Foley Johnson Chardonnay: Carneros fruit is used for this classic, rich, full-bodied Napa chardonnay. Yellow pear, green apple and grilled peaches are accented by buttered croissant and a nice, long, creamy vanilla finish.
Très Chic Rosé: One sip of this beauty and you'll think you’ve been transported to the South of France. Rose petal-colored with red berry fruits, grapefruit and notes of Provence herbs, this rosé leans towards the drier side and is a terrific value.
Jadix Picpoul de Pinet: The grape, Picpoul, loosely translates to “lip-stinger,” hinting at its brisk acidity. It’s a super refreshing wine with green apple, honeydew melon and zesty lime aromas and flavors, plus a lingering minerality. This version is a great introduction to the style as its acidity is a little softer than most other versions.
Summer Water Rosé: More than a rosé, Summer Water is a state of mind. Strawberry, pink grapefruit and orange blossom are the highlights in this perfectly crisp, light-hearted and dry rosé destined for a good time. Served chilled with good food and great company.
