	<description>I&#039;m Robyn Tinsley and WineSkinny.com is where I write about the wines that intersect my life, meals, travels and interests. After more than a decade of writing about wine in a more general way, I am focusing on the things that matter to me now: natural, whole, seasonal foods; my progression toward some kind of vegetarian/vegan lifestyle (but I cannot even imagine giving up cheese); learning to live in the moment; and the wines that somehow connect all those dots.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is one of my very favorite versions of lemonade &#8212; I make a few batches every year around this time, it seems. It hits just the right balance between tea and lemonade, and it is the most beautifully intense shade of pink. Today, I experimented with using brown rice syrup rather than white sugar, [...]]]></description>

(And yes, I wish I could include some wine labels for you, but my server is suckerrific today, and I give up.) WHITE Daniel Chotard 2010 Sancerre ($26). I could drink this everyday, I think.

And for some reason, I&#8217;ve really been having more luck with reds than anything else, Spring or no. So here are ten that were just too good to leave out this month.

I bought some of this at the Ferry Building on a recent pass through San Francisco. It&#8217;s wonderfully fragrant and silky and nearly good enough to eat. The Blood Orange is dreamy.

Because most of the winter months, I was craving crisp, white, refreshing wines. And now that Spring has sprung, I cannot seem to get enough lush, smooth, full-bodied reds. Here are two lovely Cabernet-intensive Bordeaux blends out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So. I have a slew of cookbooks. I&#8217;m talking three or four hundred. Not to mention the shelves groaning with back issues of Food &#38; Wine, Gourmet, etc. Some I&#8217;ve cooked from, some I&#8217;ve never quite gotten to. And I&#8217;m having the realization that I could never possibly make even a dent in all of these recipes &#8212; [...]]]></description>
