Pick this perfect peach blend


If you look forward every August to juicy, ripe white peaches from Calhoun County, Illinois, 2013 Cline Cellars Cashmere White should be on your shopping list. This well-balanced blend from Sonoma holds 43 percent chardonnay, and the remainder is filled out with pinot gris, muscat canelli and viognier. Succulent peach and pear flavors, a floral aroma and slight residual sugar make this $17 bottle a fabulous go-to white, whether you’re at the pool, on a picnic or parking yourself in front of the TV with a box of spicy Chinese takeout.
