With the news that the U.S. just had its hottest March ever, it’s beginning to feel a lot like we skipped right over spring. And while I still drink plenty of red wine in summer, there’s something awfully refreshing about sharing a nice, chilled white wine while sitting on the deck on a hot summer day. It is with that thought in mind that I give you some of my favorite white wines under $10! The best part is that not only will these wines refresh, but are they quite easy on your pocketbook.
2010 Familia Zuccardi Santa Julia+ Torrontés
If you haven’t jumped on the Torrontés train yet, what are you waiting for? This is really a perfect variety for summer sipping. The Santa Julia Plus is not only light and crisp, but also sustainably farmed. Quite a deal for only $9.

2010 Barone Fini Valdadige Pinot Grigio
A tasty Pinot Grigio from Valdadige, Italy that is far from boring. Flavors of crisp citrus, apple and lemon zest combine with just about the perfect level of sweetness. Add to that a nice smooth texture and a surprisingly long finish and you’ve got a very nice $9 wine.
