It’s less than two weeks away from summer and Whole Foods Market has released their Top Ten Wines for the summer season. Whole Foods Market vows that these ten wines are

“Top-Notch Wines at Easy-To-Swallow Prices.”

Along with the rest of the nation’s Whole Foods stores, team members at Whole Foods Market in Henderson, NV hosted an amazing Twitter Tasting, pairing of top whites and reds that summer has to offer.

Will, a Specialty Team Member and Kendra, the Marketing Supervisor, offered up six of their top ten wines and four various cheeses that were too good to pass up.

My top picks… 

#1. The 2009 Vitiano, a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese blend from the Falesco Estate in Umbria region of Italy.  

This bold wine shows incredible legs and nice smokey and peppery notes. This Vitiano shows off great body, fruity flavors and authentic Italian traits. This screams, “Molto bene!” I took this one home with me! I enjoyed it with an amazing Penne Alla Vodka with grilled chicken from my favorite Italian pizzeria in Vegas, Rocco’s NY Pizza! What an awesome pairing!

#2. For a great poolside, summer wine, Argentina’s Innovac!on Torrontes Pinot Grigio is ready for the sun bathers of America! Ramona from Bravo’s Real Housewives of NY would scream for this pinot! 

This bright and tart pinot grigio is packed with florals. Innovac!on, yes, it’s really spelled with an exclamation point, is packed with notes of stone fruit like peaches and apricots! Speaking to the other customers at the Twitter Tasting, this was a definite favorite! A little summer tip, freeze some peaches or grapes, and drop them into the bottom of the glass before pouring yourself some Innovac!on!
