As temps climb and taste buds search for something a little juicier, we’re reaching for an elevated favorite. Tangerine toast is the perfect pick me up for a midday snack, and is simple as can be. Even simpler? The choice of pairing it with our 2019 Chardonnay. The characteristic flavors of green apples, pears and citrus make your mouth water quicker than your toast will be ready. If Summer is about finding delightful and delicious moments, this pairing is ready to answer that call.

To make Tangerine Toast, take two pieces of sliced and toasted bread, then add a generous smear of light and tangy ricotta cheese. We recommend sprinkling a pinch of coarse sea salt before laying down your sliced citrus, then generously drizzle with honey.

Make sure that bottle of Chardonnay has a slight chill, for a snacking experience you’ll keep coming back to all summer long.
