We had some close family friends visiting from overseas and she loves Chablis. I drank some lovely white wines as summer in Houston kicked into high gear.

*Recommended Pairing:* [*Seasoned Wild Salmon Filets*](https://moreys.com/products/wild-salmon-seasoned-grill/?ref=knowledge.wine)  
Sancerre is a Loire Valley French wine that's well known for their Sauvignon Blanc white wines. However, [rosé and red wines are also allowed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sancerre%5F%28wine%29?ref=knowledge.wine). This is a richer-style Pinot Noir rosé that shouldn't be chilled too much and can pair well with a variety of foods.

This wine would have been even better without the funky aromas but it's still a refreshing aperitif wine.

*Recommended Pairing:* [*Shrimp Salad with Dill*](https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/shrimp-salad-recipe-1940192?ref=knowledge.wine)  
Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is a distinctive category of white wine but within that there is a big range of quality and styles. Astrolabe's here is fantastic for the price, under $20.

*Recommended Pairing:* [*Rabbit Hot Dogs*](https://thelocalpalate.com/recipes/rabbit-franks/?ref=knowledge.wine)  
Beaujolais Villages is one step down from the [single village Cru Beaujolais](https://thelocalpalate.com/recipes/rabbit-franks/?ref=knowledge.wine) wines, I found solid QPR here. Though I enjoyed this with some unusual rabbit & pork sausages cooked in white wine, it's a great summertime chilled wine for burgers & hot dogs.
