This week, Julia heads to the Finger Lakes with a 2019 Gewürztraminer from Dr. Konstantin Frank—off-dry, beautifully aged, and perfect for spicy food or peak summer salads. Michelle’s sipping “Glou Glou,” a chillable red from Troon Vineyard in southern Oregon. Made from Cinsault and Grenache, it’s bright, gulpable, low-ABV, and pairs well with everything from tacos to barbecue to beach reads.
