Buy Your Summer Stash Now

Here’s a fantastic line-up of~  $14.95 SUMMER WHITES from Vintages.

Ready for a little splurge? Not on fancy wine, but investing in a stash of whites for drinking 4 – 6 months from now? Recently I tasted the wines below all on the same day and each one begged to be on the summer stage ““ patio, dock, garden, wherever. But don’t just pick one ““ your summer days will be much more fun if you invite the whole gang. Get at least 2 or 3 bottles of each ““ and enjoy them in pairs. Twice the fun!

Each of the following wines has a little twist, setting it apart from the everyday. Wines at this price is the real strength of Vintages ““ not the over-priced, fancy stuff they love to tout.
