Delight in the sultry days of summer with some lighter, sparkling and easy drinking wines. While most associate the phrase ‘Dog Days of Summer’ with the hottest days of the year, the Farmers’ Almanac tells us it actually has to do with the nighttime sky - that time of year when the sun occupies the same region of the sky as Sirius, the Dog Star in the constellation Canis Major. What more perfect way to enjoy these summer sippers than with your best friend under the stars!
