Sarah Pierre,  describes summer wines that Beat the Heat as crisp and fruity that keeps you feel cool, “They are like tiny superheroes disguised as bottles. Essentially the results you get from an ice-cold lemonade are what you’ll get from these wines...minus the sugar. How can you not love that? Remember, staying cool and hydrated doesn't have to be boring (and should also include water), you can do it with a little style and sophistication. Embrace the beaming sun rays with a glass of wine in hand and a thirst for exploration. Join me as we explore different regions, grape varietals, and styles that will have you questioning all that you’ve ever known about wine.”
