Warm July evenings are the perfect time to relax outdoors and enjoy your favorite glass of sweet white wine. Below are our top five wine recommendations for July: "Sweet Summer Sipping Whites".

1. White Lies: The Winery at Wolf Creek in Norton, Ohio. This delicious, sweet wine reminds me of Asti...but without the bubbles.

2. Sweet Walter White: Bully Hill Vineyards in Hammondsport, New York. A blend of native grapes varieties with a perfect, crisp sweetness. We enjoyed this fantastic wine on the Bully Hill Patio on a warm summer day. Magnificent summer sipping wine!

3. Diamond: Lapic Winery in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. This wonderful white tastes just like fresh grapes. Perfect for sipping out on the patio.

4. Autumn Sweet White: Simmons Winery in Columbus, Indiana. This sweet white is a crowd pleaser. All of my friends love this wine...which is also a personal favorite.

5. Rapidan River Sweet Reserve White: Prince Michel Vineyard and Winery in Leon, Virginia. A lovely blend of Riesling and Vidal Blanc. A light and carefree wine.

These wines that were previously on the list have fallen from our top-five favorites as we have visited more wineries....but they are still clear winners:

Sweet Mountain Laurel: Chateau Morrisette Winery in Meadows of Dan, Virginia. A remarkable white made from Native American grape varieties. Refreshing and sweet.

Bianco: Ferrante Winery & Ristorante in Geneva, Ohio. This mellow white, made from Niagara grapes, has just the right touch of sweetness. 

Winsome: Slate Run Vineyard in Canal Winchester, Ohio. This exceptional wine has a unique "grapey" flavor you'll never forget.
