Five white wines to sip in between storms

T he only way to outsmart Mother Nature is to sidestep her whimsy with a line-up of whites to drink when we get a peek of the sun. These wines are light and breezy and the range includes prosecco, arneis and sauvignon blanc. They are - in a word - refreshing; they embrace the sun, which is fleeting. But if you’re well prepared with your lineup, you can sit out the storms. You can wait for that rare luxurious, sun-drenched day to uncork one of these tasty whites.

LaMarca, NV Prosecco, 11%, $17. This is a light and delicate prosecco with notes of citrus, honey and mineral. Crisp acid. Light on its feet.
