The July Fourth weekend is just nine days away. A local beer might seem the patriotic choice, but we’ll throw our hat into the ring in case you’re moved to support your enterprising local importers. It was the struggle against import tariffs, after all, that helped kick off this whole experiment.
We’ve put together two mixed cases for your holiday wine needs. The first — July Fourth Sampler — is a mix of two crisp, refreshing whites, and two dense, delicious reds; a perfect mix for a holiday gathering. The second — the Summer Grilling Sampler — is all red; four wines with hints of smokiness to pair with steaks, burgers, and vegetables from the grill.
