Everyone needs a great wine to take with them to the beach or their next bbq, for these summer functions I suggest Bandit Bullets. Thats right, grown up juice boxes, and you know what… the wine is actually pretty good, especially chilled on a cold day. You can find these juice boxes in many grocery stores or you can order online direct from Three Thieves, for you winos out there the link is included below. This wine is pretty dry but does carry some fruit with it making it really refreshing on a hot day and a great sidekick to almost anything you pull of the grill. And best of all, any passing cops shouldn’t look twice, after all you are drinking a juice box 
Enjoy, and good luck beating the heat.
Continuing on the Greek theme, I have found a wonderful summer white that is perfect for your bbq, summer salads or seafood. Made from the Assyritko grape, this wine starts with a bit of fruit but finishes dry with great mineral taste. There is no oak to speak of and I would say that this is most similar to a sauvignon blanc from California, though there really is no comparision.
Need a great summer wine for the BBQ or for the deck? Look no further than this great Rose from Greece. Its available now at most Whole Foods and will only set you back $12.99. This wine is a bit more full bodied than your typical rose so it can stand up to heavier foods making it perfect for almost anything you pull off the BBQ this summer. It is made from the Xinomavro grape, a grape only grown in Greece and rarely seen here in the US. For more information check out
