No better time to drink like an American
*cue bald eagle shrieking*
It’s the 4th of July. Grill tongs are in hand. Your best friend’s awful new boyfriend showed up with coleslaw in a Ziploc and you’ve got six hours of day-drinking ahead. Let’s make sure you are, ahem, properly hydrated.
BBQ Wines
Rule #1: Today? Better be ‘merican..
Rule #2: Can’t suck with ribs.
This one feels bigger than it is with notes of black fruit, smoke, and spice. If you’re usually meh on Syrah, this one might change your mind.
Bright cherry, smooth as hell, and juuust enough edge to cut through sticky ribs without overpowering them.
Lagers
Stop pretending you like craft beers that taste like chewing mulch. Crack open something light, crisp, with zero BS - perfect for crushing while making sure the cheesie poofs keep flowing.
Crisp, clean, with a gentle malt sweetness - no surprises, just straight-up tasty.
Slightly bready, hint of honey, light enough to keep going, but not so light it’s boring.
Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Your cheap Aunt brings this with her to family dinner every. single. time. Well, it slays. Not every bottle needs to be sustainably sourced and hand massaged by monks. Sometimes you just need to get the job done. Pairs with red meats, Costco rotisserie chicken and The Bachelor.
Hella good price for the quality
Balanced with dark cherry notes
Final rose worthy
Looking for something as sophisticated as you are? No. We don’t recommend a Buzz Ball. Here are some dang adult options.
Zesty and crisp, with a bright bite that cuts through any late-afternoon slump.
De Soi Non-Alcoholic Spritz Italiano
No booze, but don’t call it soft. It’s complex, tart, and refreshingly bitter.
We’re partying! With Canada Day and Fourth of July in the same week we’re… let’s say, “taste testing,” lots of stuff. See you when reality sets in next week.
Cheers!
