Instead of the heavy, powerful wines that accompany the cuisine of cooler weather, try something light and refreshing. This does not preclude red wines either. We’ve found several that quaff a thirst and match lighter foods too. Summertime is also a great time of the year to experiment. Throw off the Cabernet and shackles. Wine lovers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but ponderous over-oaked . By golly, try a cool refreshing . How about a crisp from California or New Zealand? Amaze your friends with a dry Rosé. (See page 4). There are so many styles of wine out there it seems a shame to concentrate on one or two types, no matter how delicious they are. Green’s has selected 16 wines made from 11 different grape varieties made to enjoy during the hot weather. All were picked for their ability to refresh and entertain.
