An extensive selection of white wines are in fact considerably better suited than a warm day in May to some chilly night in January. Instead of warm weather basics like New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, fizzy, low- sparkly, unserious Proseccos and alcohol Vinho Verdes, consider large, luscious California Chardonnays, off-dry Rieslings from Germany and Alsace, Loire Valley Chenins that is creamy and unctuous white Rhônes.
