Cucumber chillin' at Oliver Winery Bloomington

• $8 for a 500mL bottle.

State of play: The wine spritzer tastes exactly how the winery describes it: "botanical extracts and a bit of fizz add an unexpected burst of spa-like flavor to this sweet-yet-crisp white wine."

• It's not too sweet, or too dry.
• It's the perfect balance of cucumber and lavender.

Yes, but: It's a small-batch beverage only available at the tasting room in Bloomington.

Reality check: The tasting room is a beautiful place to visit in the summer with plenty of shaded patio seating and picnic tables surrounding a pond. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon.

If you go: 200 E. Winery Road, Bloomington. Open noon to 6pm Sunday-Thursday, 11am to 6pm Friday and 11am to 8pm Saturday.
