Caves Alianca Vinho Verde

Made from a blend of four grape varieties, this cheerful white wine from Northwest Portugal is crisp, light and refreshing and perfect for the dog days of summer. It pairs beautifully with fish, chicken, shellfish and even fruit salad. Best of all, it’s a steal at around $6 a bottle—buy a case and you’re set for the rest of barbecue season!
