Can not wait much longer for the warmer weather

Question

Here in New Haven, CT. my wife and I drink big, full bodied reds all winter long. We have had the first hint of spring, and we're looking forward to some great white wines and some roses.

Here is my warmer weather list:

- Alabarino

-Proesecco (sp?) (yes, yes, yes) And let's put some Cava in here.

-Of course some Sauvignon Blanc

-But--Pinot Grigio and Orvietto!

-And Bandol roses.

-Sekt

Any other warm weather quaffers? Wines you can drink on the deck or along the pool without getting too drunk?

"Rich R" in  news:I9Q1c.32050$   ...I actually drink little wine in warm weather, but I always like a goodRiesling from the Mosel or Rheingau with poise to it, hint of lime orgrapefruit peel in the aroma, maybe Kabinett weight from the young 2001s or2002s, and (unless also trumpeted by some numerical critic) they run verymoderate in price.  Or a pleasant Austrian Grüner Veltliner or youngPrälatenwein.  (Ideally the former should be consumed by the "eighth" at thecrowded wine bar of the Schwartzen Kameel with endless open-facedsandwiches -- "Diplomaten" and other styles -- and political arguments; thelatter by the mug with a crisp Schnitzel and cold vegetable salad, lemonwedge on the side -- but these ideal settings are not always possible, lifethrives where there is compromise!.)    I'm getting hungry.

Or do as the Austrians do with their gruner veltliner: take one at the table wine or steinfeder level & mix with some sparkling mineral water: hello spritzer! Perfect for backyard afternoons & pairs with everything.

Or a pleasant Austrian Grüner Veltliner or young
