On the East Coast some of us are getting relief from the drought and heat the past summer days have brought. This morning we woke to a delightfully soft rainfall that is hopefully soaking the soil and giving relief to gardens and vineyards.

During the warm and hot summer days, cold and easy summer recipes are nice to have on hand. Barrington Cellars in New York shared the following recipe with the Wine Trail Traveler website.
