Grab a glass and gather around the patio table, grill or beach blanket. Long summer days mean endless possibilities for the seizing — whether that’s hanging the hammock and hanging out, a candlelit dinner for two or reuniting with old friends. Our Wine Team has assembled 12 favorites that embrace the sunshine months in white, rosé, red and sparkling — with seasonal food pairings we think you’ll love (and that definitely make us hungry).
