Happy July, friends! Sultry summer evenings are officially here, which means it’s time for those easy outdoor gatherings we all look forward to. Summer entertaining doesn’t have to be fancy. It’s really about good company, a relaxed vibe, and maybe a little something unexpected to serve.

There’s a certain reverence we hold for French wine. It is the blueprint. The measuring stick. It’s the reason we say terroir instead of soil, cuvée instead of blend, and still drop “Burgundian” as a compliment half the world away.
