I am super into Alpine wines these days, dare I say a hot trend this summer? I sure hope so! Alpine refers to the elevation these wines are grown at — making them fresh, and bright, and those reds are light, light, light. And that’s what I want in the warmer weather. So, let’s break down the countries growing this insane high-elevation wine and how to best enjoy a bottle.
Helen’s Alpine recommendations: Look for wines from the Savoie, Switzerland, or Alto Adige!
