Welcome to summer in Florida. At least this weekend the forecast isn't flirting with the triple digits...it's just kind of giving them a come-hither smile from the other side of the room.

But it's still the kind of heat that makes one glad there's plenty of fresh seafood nearby, and plenty of crisp wines to go with it. Firing up the grill this weekend? I just ran across a recipe for jerked shrimp that sounded really good. I'll admit, I've never tried wine with jerk seasoning--I'll let you know next week how it worked out. Or put some salmon on the grill and pull out the dry rose.

Add a little fruit juice to sparkling wine for a light refresher...serve with quiche for Sunday brunch, or add a green salad and some crusty bread for an easy dinner.
