Anyone who knows me knows I have one retirement dream— to own a vineyard, with horses and lots of room to roam, making fine wines and selling them to the world.

During the pandemic, I became something of a wine lover. I’ve recently learned to home-brew my own small batches and everything— but that’s a story for another time. For now, I want to discuss the wines I’m currently obsessed with (from cost, to clean ingredients, flavor profile and beyond) in the wines of summer, 2022 edition. Here goes:

The wines of summer 2022: crisp whites, spritzers, and more

My current summertime favorites include the following:

White wines—

• The Wonderful Wine Company Chardonnay. Clocking in at only $15-ish a bottle, and made of organic ingredients with a vegan-friendly focus, this crisp, semi-dry white wine leaves a refreshing floral profile on the tongue and doesn’t give you the nasty headaches some less clean wines can give.

• Coastal Rosé Spritzers. These refreshing, part Rosé part sparkling water spritzers are a great alternative to seltzers alone for the wine lover, still clocking in at just 100 calories and maintaining yummy, Rosé goodness all the while.

• Tempo Vero, any of them. White or red, this cost-effective low sugar wine is delicious, sparing no flavor while remaining more health conscious for those on the low-sugar or keto craze.

What’s your favorite summer wine? Let’s discuss: cheers!
