With it being officially summer, I thought a proper topic would be Summer Must Haves. So join me along with four of my wine writing friends as we discuss what characteristics we look for in a summer wine, when we start thinking about summer wines and although I’m all for promoting Rose’ (shameless plug here- we have an amazing offer on our Rose’ – get 20% off a six pack of our rose’ PLUS get $10 off a future order and that will be eligible for our inaugural release of our Reserve Single Vineyard designate 2016 Cabernet Franc! You can find out about our award winning wines and how to order on our website at dracaenawines.com
We had a lot of laughs during this episode and we did do a bit of name dropping – so be prepared for some bell ringing. We decided everytime someone dropped a name, we would ring a bell. I think by the end, we could have had a symphony!
And I learned I need to pay more attention to the answers of the riddle as I totally didn’t hear the correct answer! Hope you enjoy!
