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.
