As the gay ambassador of altruism for Barefoot Cellars, Randy Arnold travels the country bequeathing scholarships and donating wine to nonprofits, many of which are LGBT-related.

Just before jetting off to Gay Days at Disney World, the longtime oenophile gave us his favorite picks for summer sipping.
BAREFOOT PINOT GRIGIO ($6)
The perfect warm-weather white, especially for people on a budget. Loaded with scents of peach, pear, apricot, lemon blossom, and honeysuckle, it's a perfect match for seafood and lightly sauced chicken dishes.
