High summer is the season for sipping — hand-squeezed citrus ades, fresh cucumber water, homemade sweet tea. And what could be more refreshing than bright West Coast wines that are just as lively enjoyed solo as with a healthy, garden-fresh meal? The vineyards below offer white, rosé and light-bodied red wines that pair perfectly with light, warm-weather fare, and all are sustainable operations that nurture the fertile soils on which they sit.
