I'm a NPR listener and last month there was a segment on Summer Time Wines produced by our local NPR station, WAMU (American University in Washington DC). The Kojo Nnamdi Show is my favorite NPR show, and I believe it's played nationally.

After listening to this discussion on wines, I was amazed about how complex wines are. I've always just thrown the "Boone's Farm" (kidding) in the fridge, and drank it at 40 degrees. But these guys said chill for 12 minutes in a refrigerator and drink at 60 degrees and that some wines taste better at 62 degrees. A great discussion by wine experts with an expert moderator.

I am enjoying Yellow Tail riesling right now. So refreshing when it's 103 degrees outside.

I generally prefer red wines to white, but right now I'll take whatever's chilled. :D

103? is it a dry heat or humid like here? It's been so humid here for the last several weeks that the mold is getting moldy :) It's better than a drought, but not too much better.

Eh, I never really got the humid/dry heat distinction. It's just hot is all I know. :D

However, we are not near the coast, so I'm sure the humidity could easily be higher.

I like yellowtail, too. I also like beaujolais nouveau.
