Summer's just heating up and if you're like me, you never fully appreciate it while it's here. A cool, crisp wine can be a fantastic way to savor the moment, especially if paired with our best of the best recipes in our Green Summer Gourmet: The Season's Best Grilling Recipes or Green Summer Gourmet: The Salads series. Which wine, you ask?

We've recruited grape guru Tyler Coleman (otherwise known as Dr. Vino) to help us choose the six best wines for summer. All satisfy four main criteria: they're eco-, food-, wallet-, and taste bud-friendly.

There's nothing like cleansing your palette with a slow swig of sustainable wine. Choose the one that's right for you and let us know how you like it!
