Independence Day

Whether you’re hosting a July 4 barbeque or you’ve been invited to attend, this White Balsamic Custard Tart is a gorgeous offering that can be whipped up in no time. Let someone else bring the apple pie, and take advantage of berry season. Juicy, ripe, red & blue berries call for the perfect white: an off-dry Reisling, such as the 2009 Cathedral Ridge. With notes of apricots and brown sugar, this wine is softer, rounder–perfect for enjoying with friends during the late afternoons of summer.
