CK Mondavi Wine for Summertime

If you're into tasty wines at a reasonable price points and fresh summer ingredients, you're going to love this blog post! As part of a Clever Girls Collective campaign, I was able to taste test 4 wines from CK Mondavi.The verdict? CK Mondavi is the perfect 4th of July wine!  Not only is it the only wine in this price point (under $10!) to be 100% American made &  grown, but a percentage of sales goes to supporting veterans. It's a win-win! 

I paired the brand new CK Mondavi Wine Blonde Five, a white blend with flavors of honey, baked apple and lemon zest with my favorite summer bean salad.

CK Mondavi also sent me a Cabernet and another red blend, Scarlett Five. These wines are easy to find as 

CK Mondavi wine is sold nationwide in every US state. Plus you know you are supporting a great cause because a

 percentage of each bottle sold between May - August is donated to Intrepid Fallen Heroes (up to $50,000).

So you're drinking yummy wine for a good cause, and it won't break the bank? Anyone can get on board with that!
