Six "Labor Day" Wines Under $20

After an uncharacteristically beautiful summer here in St. Louis, the heat and humidity have finally settled in - just in time for the Labor Day weekend. It looks like Saturday will be in the 100's.
Ugh!
So, we'll deal with the heat by drinking refreshing wine.
Here are four Whites, a Rose' and a Zinfandel that should fit the bill for all your Labor Day needs - all readily available at your friendly neighborhood Balabans.
Crisp refreshing whites. Drink these all by themselves, on the patio or by the pool:
2012 Araldica Gavi, Italy - $15
2012 Hopler Gruner Veltliner, Austria - $15
2011 Rainstorm Pinot Grigio, Oregon - $17
2011 Huia Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand - $19
I love Chardonnay, but for me, most Chardonnays do not have the bright, refreshing crispness as these whites - which helps them to confront the heat of the day.
Let's eat!
With some salad, deli meats and lighter cheeses I'm drinking rose'. I think this lovely rose' from Cotes de Provence, France is just right:
2012 Castel des Maures Rose' - $12
And finally, when we move on to something heavier, like typical holiday barbecue fare, you just have to have a Zinfandel. Here's one of the best under $20 Zins I've found:
2011 Hess Artezin Zinfandel, Mendocino CA - $17
Whatever you're drinking, be sure to have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend.
