chillinjoySince we've been talking about Vinho Verde all week, today's a great Friday to feature the ChillinJoy, a portable wine cooler ideal for keeping a bottle cool at picnics, campouts, or just by the pool. It works for red wine, too: just refrigerate instead of freeze the ice packs. P.S. There's a pocket for your corkscrew!

Enter to win the ChillinJoy--just leave a comment on the site with your favorite type of white wine (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc...).

Read the contest rules (short version: one entry per person, must be 21 or older and have a U.S. mailing address).

Congrats to Sean of Lubbock, Texas, winner of the Corkeeper!

I was never a wine drinker until last year when I discovered Riesling. I still don't like reds, but whites are growing on me. This is why it's good you have a blog. Someone else can do the taste testing, and I can reap the benefits. :)

P.S. C'mon now. What do you have against Hello, Kitty? What did she ever do to yo?

What a cute cooler. I'm spending my summer by the pool and I wish it was with a bottle of Riesling. That would be perfect!

Riesling, all the way. I tend to like it on the sweeter side of the spectrum, but it is SUCH an enjoyable wine, on its own or with dinner. I love it.

written by Brooke Cheshier , June 26, 2009
So many great whites, and riesling is certainly at the top of the list. But, in the spirit of mixing things up and being financially responsible, these day's I'm a big fan of cheap vins de pays from the Languedoc (think white colombard!). Mmm, and soave's refreshing, too.

Right now because it's summer I am into the fine charonnay's. I love Mitsuko's Vineyard Chardonnay. It's made in California and it tastes buttery smooth. I love it fairly cold, but not too much and it is just refreshing on a hot summer evening. Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

While I am open to trying any high-quality wine, my family prefers white wines and dessert wines (such as Riesling, Muscat, ice wines and wines with semillon grapes).

written by Laslie , July 03, 2009
On average we drink more red than white, but do mix it up a bit. When drinking whites I prefer a crisp, cool Pinot Grigio or a nice Sauvignon Blanc on those occasions. A little crisp, a little fruity, but nothing too sweet!
