064 - Three Unique Whites to Get You Through The Summer

In this episode, Shelley & Phil taste through three delicious white wines that are not only great for Summer sipping but are also off the beaten path of typical white wines that people drink. They start off with an Albariño, move to a White Rioja (mostly Chardonnay) and finish up with a sensational  Picpoul De Pinet. All are available in one way shape or form. Here we go! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing
