Our editors had the extremely hard job (someone’s got to do it!) of
sampling some of the summer’s best wines. Kick back, raise a glass and
discover which vinos made this year’s list.

7 Un-Oaked Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the LL Cool J of
wines:"Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years."But these
days, chard has shed its buttery, oaky rep for cleaner crisper granny
smith apple and melon, characteristic of Oliver’s vineyards. Mama said
knock you out. $22.44 at Inglewood Wine Market, 1139 9th Ave. SE,
Calgary, 403-262-4663, www.inglewoodwine.com

Montecillo Rioja Reserva
A
red in summer? Why not! Hot August days remind us of the warm Spanish
sun, which is exactly what these grapes were grown under. $19.99 at
Willowpark Wines, 4012 Worcester Dr. SW, Calgary, 403-777-123, www.willowpark.net
Dirty Laundry Gewurztraminer
Sweet but not too
sweet, this BC wine is as light and fresh as our favourite summer days.
$29 at Inglewood Wine Market, 1139 9th Ave. SE, Calgary, 403-262-4663,

Cabernet Sauvignon
This spicy Cabernet Sauvignon is just
as free-spirited as its adorable label. Its always a palette pleaser,
especially when served with salami and cheese. $25.99 at Kensington Wine
Market, 1257 Kensington Rd. NW, Calgary, www.kensingtonwinemarket.com
Joie Farm Noble Blend
Although I try many
whites, I always go back to this delightful blend. It was served at my
wedding reception last year so it holds a special place in my heart.
$33.49 at Kensington Wine Market, 1257 Kensington Rd. NW, Calgary, www.kensingtonwinemarket.com
