Ahhh, just when you were starting to pen epitaphs to the summer of 2013…

The mid-summer might tasting on Thursday, Aug. 22 demonstrates that , oh, no, my dear, Myrtle’s still in the glorious summer groove.

Four sustainably-produced wines that are equally perfect for winding down after a long workday, sipping throughout a lazy afternoon, a picnic in the park or an evening under the stars. Cheers!
