Summer Sippers and BBQ Reds
Oh summer! The time of crisp white wine or refreshing rosé during sultry warm afternoons or evenings on the deck or patio, or at the lake, ocean or pool. The time of rich reds at barbecues with family and friends. And the wines that pair well with a celebratory toast to Independence Day.

Specifically, these wines are from Washington state, Oregon, California, New Zealand and Italy.
