WINE OF THE MONTH
The Wine of the Month from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits is a Graham Beck Reserve Chenin Blanc. With upfront tropical fruit, melon, peaches and honey flavors on the nose and palate and a clean, crisp finish, this South African Chenin Blanc is a terrific alternative to Chardonnay for warm weather wine. It’s also great with grilled chicken or fish or for a poolside brunch. At around $16, it pairs beautifully with your budget, too.
