Fathers Day

Sunday June 19th 

 

  Summer is here! Time to plan outdoor activites - barbeques, picnics, weddings, family reunions, or simply enjoying fun times out on a sunny deck with friends.  For me, this is a wonderful time of year for exploring some of the many different summer wines out there.  Nothing is better than a crisp, refreshing white or a fun rose or bubbly to refresh your palette on a hot afternoon. There are also some wonderful robust, juicy reds to enjoy with that barbequed steak or burger. Check out our "Showcase Corner" for some great suggestions.  Enjoy your summer.

"One of the most insidious myths in American wine culture is that a wine is good if you like it. Liking a wine has nothing to do with whether it is good. Liking a wine has to do with liking that wine, period. Wine requires two assessments: one subjective, the other objective. In this it is like literature. You may not like reading Shakespeare but agree that Shakespeare was a great writer nonetheless."                                                                              KAREN MACNEIL, The Wine Bible
