It may not feel like it, but it’s official today: SPRING. IS. HERE.
I ordered a Sancerre a few weeks ago with some oysters, and my friend was like, “I can’t believe you’re ordering a white in the winter.” Please. I pop white and rosé based on mood and food all year round. I think I actually drank more white this winter than red, though possibly just because bars in NYC pump up the heat in winter and grapefriend gets really hot.
Anyway, I figured I’d take it to a poll to see what everyone else wants to drink now that today’s officially spring. Plus I haven’t done a Heathers Lunchtime Poll in a while and Heather Chandler was getting really bossy about it. #myriad

I popped open a Rosé to celebrate spring!! I agree – I drink based on mood, not weather 🙂 Cheers!
excellent! cheers!
Beer plays a large roll in our spring/summer beverage consumption – it does to some extent in the other seasons too. It is all in the moment, food, friends, temps, and, of course, availability in our tiny burg.
I bet maltfriend would’ve done a what kind of beer will you drink in spring post – but not there yet 😉
although I admit to rhoditis when it is nice enough to sit outside at my favorite Greek restaurant. The tangy wine with the rich flavors… a sip of wine, a bite of lamb, a sip of wine, a grape leaf…. yummm
While I do prefer a nice heavy red in the winter and cool crisp white in the summer I also don’t live by the “wine rules”. My winter was filled with some chilled whites next to a roaring fire (and reds, and margaritas, and martinis).
Nice! Exactly how I roll too 🙂
