We drove through the winding roads, on the back roads of Marin that we used to know intimately like the back of our hand, the scent of eucalyptus seeping in through the car vents as we passed through dark canopies that led to hairpin turns bathed in sunlight. When my husband and I first moved to California, these weekend drives used to be our favorite thing to do, leading us to the coast, where we would happily spend hours exploring and strolling, witnessing the crashing waves, roaming elk and endless miles of gorgeous shoreline.

Well, he probably sniffed more than chicken in our picnic basket. I unpacked the Summer Wheat Berry Salad with Stone Fruits and Goat Cheese I had made earlier in the morning, along with more of the nectarines, apricots and cherries we are savoring this time of year. The kids begged for some madeleines, and I poured a couple of glasses of.
The grapes used in this chardonnay are grown in Monterey County’s cool climate winegrowing region, just less than three hours down the northern California coast from where we picnicked, and the fruit forward characteristics of the wine were perfect with our picnic! It was crisp and light, and definitely summer picnic ready, and the long drive and crowded beach became a memory with a sip.

If you love stone fruit as much as I do, then I have a feeling this salad will be your go-to as long as stone fruit season lasts. Use whatever good fruit you can find – nectarines and cherries went into mine, along with dried cherries. And one especially good thing about this salad is if you happen to cut into a piece of fruit that isn’t quite ready (which does happen – I seem to cut into under-ripe nectarines all the time), throw it into this salad – the tanginess and crunch works perfectly with the wholesome wheat berries and creamy goat cheese!
With the long drive back ahead of us, the time to pack up our picnic came all too soon. But as we shook off the sand and folded our blankets, we made a vow to come back again soon. We had missed it far too much.
And summer is just beginning.
