WineJohn and Jill Backer’s winery is not exactly on the beaten path. Considered one of the Paso Robles area’s “Back Roads Wineries,” August Ridge Winery is on a fairly remote stretch of Highway 41 in the rolling hills of Creston.

I’m not much of a fan of heavy, high-alcohol white wines at any time of year, but I really avoid them when the weather gets hot. In summer, I look for crisp, flavorful whites that are refreshing, not exhausting. I tend to eat lighter foods, too, and these summertime whites pair well with salads and fresh vegetables.
It’s been a cozy relationship for centuries: wine and olive oil, olives and grapes.
