While you are out and about this weekend, if you happen to be buying supplies for July 4th don’t forget a bottle of wine for your wine enthusiasts. Wine is also appropriate for picnics. White wines are a good choice, just make sure they are chilled. You may even want to freeze grapes, cherries, sliced peaches or one of your favorite fruits and pour the wine over the frozen fruit to keep it cold. It also achieves an attractive presentation. Wines to consider having include Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel or a rosé.

Tip: Don’t keep the wine in a hot car! Put an ice chest in the car trunk.
