Although Labor Day is sometimes consider the end of summer, the weather is often still warm enough to recommend serving chilled white wines.  While some embrace the changing of the seasons, we like to eek out a few last beach days at here on the shoreline of Connecticut.  This weekend, consider trying the Palagetto  Vernaccia “Santa Chiara”.  The Santa Chiara has an intense and pervasive bouquet which is remarkably aromatic with hints of peppermint, chamomile and thyme.   The Santa Chiara pairs quite well with beach side snacks like grilled veggies, goat cheese and crackers and its taste is known for having a lingering, fresh finish.  At a suggested retail price of $15.99, this quality Vernaccia wine from di San Gimignano Italy is friendly on your budget too.

Gather your family and friends for a relaxing Labor Day weekend celebration as we all say “Cheers” to another great summer.
