Five bottles for the season ahead.

Summer barbecue asks for different kinds of wine. Something cold enough for the patio, structured enough for smoke, and easy enough to open on a Friday without overthinking it.

That is why we built the Sommelier Summer Wine Bundle.

Buy 4 bottles, get the 5th on us. A mix chosen to work across the tray: brisket, ribs, turkey, sausages, even the slower meals that turn into long conversations once the paper is covered in sauce stains and empty glasses.

We believe wine belongs at the barbecue table just as much as beer does.

Acid cuts through rendered fat. Chill balances spice. A good bottle keeps smoke from feeling heavy in the summer heat.

This bundle was built for backyard dinners, cookouts, and bringing something better than the usual last-minute grocery store pick.

Come by the shop, ask the team what they are opening lately, and take a few bottles home while the bundle is running.
