Summer Sip: Frontera Specialties Pedro Jimenez 2013 from Chile

Ooh, the temperature is rising and along with it my craving for chilled wines without too much attitude. Frontera Specialties Pedro Jimenez fits the bill perfectly. Only $8 a bottle, this medium-bodied Chilean beauty is very refreshing and has mucho personality.

When you want something a little different than Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, this blend of primarily Pedro Jimenez (an heritage grape varietal that had fallen into obscurity) with a touch of Moscatel and Sauvignon Blanc is a great option. Juicy and crisp with a pleasing minerality, this sip is perfect as an aperitif or with seafood, sushi - even fish and chips!
