Why Don't We Drink More Whites?

The lovely white wine in this photo was sitting beside our pool in Tuscany, waiting for lunch to arrive (more on Italian whites in another post).

Ignore the Pinot/Burgundy bowls. We didn't purchase every glass shape for the villa where we stayed. But in the warm dry weather, we also quickly moved toward 8-ounce thrist quenching servings of our whites. That meant the 20-ounce Pinot bowls were just fine for spill-free swirling!

But that leads to today's question: why don't we drink more whites, especially during summer in the South? Low-alcohol Italian whites are an especially refreshing way to make any meal special.

Just the other evening, after returning home from a weekend with family, my wife and I enjoyed a bottle of Premier Cru Chablis. I think everyone should try it. It is called Premier for a reason.
