Even as summer's warmth starts to fade, a chilled red is still a refreshing option, particularly for pre-dinner drinks. Pop these light-bodied reds in the fridge for half an hour or so to drop them a few degrees and add to their zippy freshness.
2022 SOULEIL VIN DE BONTÉ LE ROUGE ($17)
A cheerful, dark-rubyhued Southern French blend of Grenache and Syrah, this appealing bargain offers crisp, peppery fruit and a lightly minteucalyptus finish.
NV DOMAINE RIMBERT COUSIN OSCAR ($19)
This lighthearted red is a fine expression of Cinsaut, its flavors lifted by a percentage of Pinot Noir. It's named after a cousin of vintner Jean-Marie Rimbert, who was a bit of a roué.
2021 CHRISTINA ST. LAURENT ($20)
Christina Netzl grew up on her family's farm in Austria and decided by age 5 that she wanted to be a winemaker. Smart decision, as this floral, peppery, lively red shows.
2020 MAISON L'ENVOYÉ FLEURIE ($21)
The wines of Fleurie are known for their fragrant grace. This is no exception: It tastes like what you'd get if you waved a wand over a bowl of berries and turned them into flowers.
2022 DAY WINES VIN DE DAYS ROUGE ($27)
The irrepressibly creative Oregon winemaker Brianne Day makes this crunchy cran-raspberry red from a blend of Pinots Meunier and Noir. It's super bright and full of life.
2021 TARPON CELLARS CAMBARO ($28)
A low-alcohol (11.2%), hard-to-resist blend of Nebbiolo, Primitivo, Syrah, and other grapes, this transparent red from winemaker Jeremy Carter suggests crisp watermelon and strawberries. Chill it down, and drink it outside.
2022 IDLEWILD FLORA & FAUNA RED ($30)

The Gilda Age - How to perfect the world's best bar snack at home
In the late 1940s, Rita Hayworth turned heads in Hollywood with her sultry, sharp-tongued, titular role in the movie Gilda. Hayworth's character also made a lasting impression further afield in Spain, at Casa Vallés bar in Donostia-San Sebastián, inspiring the creation of a pintxo-a tiny, toothpick-speared snack-that still bears her character's name today. The new pintxo was so popular that it was quickly adopted by other spots throughout the city. It is now Basque country's most iconic bar snack
Tasting Tasmania - Australia's stunning island state is home to stellar cool-climate wines, a vibrant dining scene, and the freshest air on earth.
Australia's stunning island state is home to stellar cool-climate wines, a vibrant dining scene, and the freshest air on earth.asmania smells fresh. Parks and wilderness cover 40% of the island, and much of the rest is farmland. Swept by the Roaring Forties-intense westerly winds that buffet the southern hemisphere- the atmospheric station at Cape Grim in the state's northwest corner regularly records the earth's most pristine air. Down here in Australia's southernmost state, not far from Antarctica, simply taking a breath is delicious. But that's not all that's delicious. Grapes retain mouthwatering acidity in the chilly, maritime climate of Tasmania (or Lutruwita, as it's called in palawa kani, the local Aboriginal language). Having loved Tolpuddle Vineyard's earthy Pinot Noirs, full of cranberry and orange-peel flavors, back in New York, I'd made a pilgrimage to the island for its wine.

Cut long, deep slits down each eggplant before grilling to help the centers steam and soften as the outside chars. Serve this smoky, spreadable dish warm or at room temperature with roti or naan.
