Summer in the Ozarks means porches, docks, and evenings that don’t cool off until well after dinner. Here are five styles worth chilling down and bringing along — ask us which bottles on our current list fit each category.
1. A bone-dry rosé
Pale, crisp, and built for warm weather. Serve it cold and don’t overthink it — it’s the most food-flexible pour on this list.
2. A citrusy Sauvignon Blanc
Bright and grassy, it cuts through anything creamy on your board and holds up next to goat cheese especially well.
3. A chillable light red
Yes, red wine can be served cold. Lighter-bodied reds hold their fruit and lose their heaviness with a light chill — a great bridge for red-wine drinkers at a summer table.
4. A dry sparkling wine
Bubbles aren’t just for celebrations. A dry sparkling wine is refreshing on its own and versatile enough to pair with nearly everything on our charcuterie menu.
5. An off-dry white
A touch of sweetness balances spicy foods — think Andouille or spicy Chorizo — better than a bone-dry wine ever could.
Stop in and we’ll point you to what’s currently on our list in each category — the specific bottles rotate, but these five styles are reliable all season.
