CAROLE ALKINS
Hess Glen Carlou Chardonnay “The perfect blend of oak, melon, and peach. It pairs well with seafood, but because it’s full-bodied, can hold its own with a steak or lamb chop, too.”
GERT COWAN
Roselle 2005 Syrah Rosé “Crisp and approachable, with a berry finish that’s refreshing on a hot summer day. Serve it with Asian, Mediterranean, or Spanish tapas. Plus, the screw cap comes in handy if you forget to bring the bottle opener.”
BARBARA CRUZ
Hess 2004 Artezin Zinfandel “Full and lush with jammy raspberries, a bit of spice, a touch of pepper, and a hint of chocolate. Works well with barbecue and anything grilled.”
ROSALIND JOHNSON
Wente 2003 Riva Ranch Chardonnay “Exceptionally balanced, with tropical fruit components—mango, papaya, and guava—surrounded by vanilla, coconut, and the toast of the barrel. Phenomenal with cheese.”
KATHERINE KENNEDY
Martini & Rossi Prosecco “A dry, slightly sparkling wine made from the prosecco grape grown in the Veneto region of Italy. It has a crisp bouquet and delicate hints of apple, peach, and vanilla. Great with appetizers and light entrées.”
