When the temperature climbs in summer, most of us want light foods and refreshing flavors. Salad is a good idea because cool food feels so good.
Fish plays a starring role because it cooks faster than meat.
Desserts should take advantage of the bounty of fresh fruits. Sounds like a white wine menu, and that's exactly what this one turns out to be. We tried to find a red wine to match with at least one of the dishes in this menu, searching as always for the unexpected combination. But no go. Neither Beaujolais nor Dolcetto, not Grenache nor even a light Pinot Noir could equal the performance of the white wines this time around.
