I've been moving, so I haven't had a chance to play with any new wines lately. *insert sad face here*

But while the wine fridge waits in the garage for the new carpets to go into my new house, I've had a chance to circle what I like in the current wine tab (kind of like when I was a kid and my mom would say "circle what you want from the Sears Christmas catalog" - which is to say, I circled a lot!)

First off - it's not wine, but there's a great deal on summer party-size spirits, like margarita mix with the tequila in it, Tanqueray and Ketel One, where you can save up to $6.

Second, there are some great wines on sale this month for under $10, which we always like, right?

My picks:

- Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, because I heart the zesty and bright flavors of New Zealand Sauv Blancs.

- Fat Bastard, a good French Chardonnay

- Loredona Riesling and Pacific Rim Riesling - great with grilled chicken on a hot NorCal/NorNev summer day

- Ironstone - it's our wine of the month and you can save more with our coupon!

- Zintopia! Lots of Zins on sale - try Renwood, OZV or Ravenswood for pocket-pleasing Zintisfaction

Feel like a bit of a splurge? Montevina Terra d'Oro Syrah for under $13 is perfect with grilled sausages (am I the only one who thinks of the old "snausages" commercial where the dog runs through the house yelling "snausages" when I think of sausages?)
