La Marca Italian Sparkling Wine
Born in Treviso, Italy's Prosecco capital, La Marca brings a touch of sparkle to every summer dining occasion.
With its crisp and refreshing style, La Marca sparkling wine has a delicate floral palate with fruity aromas of green apple, juicy peach, and ripe lemon.
If you're grilling up salmon for the main course or breaking out a charcuterie board for guests to snack on, La Marca provides the perfect balance.
Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc
Born in the sunny vineyards of New Zealand, there's no better choice than Whitehaven's Sauvignon Blanc to match the sweltering heat only the Fourth of July can bring. The bright and infectious vibrancy of just one bottle will remind you of what summer is all about.
With vibrant tropical notes and a crisp herbaceous edge, this wine's bright character will also complement the flavors of grilled fish, light meats, a festive summer salad or vegetable-forward dishes.
Franciscan Chardonnay
With roots in California, Franciscan is known for its rich history. "Letting the fruit speak for itself," Franciscan is guaranteed to deliver on a bold burst of flavor..
Franciscan's Chardonnay is a bright white wine with hints of pineapple and lemon flower, along with notes of juicy pear and apple, making it the perfect wine to complement whatever's on your grill this Fourth of July, especially poultry dishes like pineapple chicken. You can also pair it with light seafood, pasta, and a variety of tasty cheeses.
