Flight Savor Fare

As temperatures soar into the 90s, some days into the 100s here in the mountains — one can only imagine what the heat index is in Hilton Head Island or Wild Dunes or in downtown Charleston — the refreshing, light flavor of white wine beckons even the most stalwart red wine drinker.

If you are used to drinking red as I am, you know little about white wine. Erik Asimov, in the New York Times, recommends a nicely chilled sauvignon blanc, also called fume blanc, an archaic term coined by Robert Mondavi in the 60s. Learn more about what makes a good white wine from Asimov, but bottom line? Drink Cakebread, Sonoma Coast, Frog’s Leap, Hanna or Sterling. Oh, and it tastes better if you drink it at Flight Wood Grill and Wine Bar
