A Kick Ass Summer Sipper
To qualify as a Kick Ass Summer Sipper (K.A.S.S.) you need to meet three criterion. First, you must be refreshing and cold. Crisp is also good. Second, you must have layers and flavor and personality. And finally, you need to be cheap. The last one is perhaps the most important being that the objective of these wines are to be casual, quaffable and enjoyable – particularly out of a plastic cup (good plastic of course).
