- Stinson Vineyard
- Stinson Vineyards' Sauvignon Blanc is a great Fourth of July vino.
There's much cause for celebration in July. Not only do we celebrate our own freedoms on the Fourth, but many other countries revel in their independence, too.
More than 20 different nations around the world honor independence days, and that means drinks are in order.
USA, Thursday, July 4: Each state in the union makes wine, even Alaska. Let's focus on a region a little more tried and true. This holiday, settle down in the park to watch fireworks with a bottle of Stinson Vineyards' Sauvignon Blanc from Virginia ($22). Crisp, refreshing and citrusy, this is a lovely wine from the first state to experiment with cultivating vines. Our forefathers would be proud.
