🍤 Light Bites & Chill Sips: Whites & Rosés That Work Overtime
🦐 Pebble Cove Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (New Zealand)
Pairs with: Shrimp cocktail, ceviche, crab cakes, guacamole
Bursts of passionfruit, grapefruit pith, and mouthwatering acidity make this a go-to for fresh seafood and summer dips. Bonus points for pairing perfectly with limey guacamole.
🐚 Caves des Vins de Sancerre “Les Tuilières” Sauvignon Blanc
Pairs with: Oysters, scallop ceviche, citrusy grilled shrimp
Lean, zesty, and mineral-driven—this classic French Sauvignon Blanc brings elegance and energy to every briny bite.
🧈 Château Lapinesse Graves Blanc (Sémillon)
Pairs with: Lobster roll sliders, creamy crab dip, shrimp crostini
A citrusy white with hints of peach, honey, and wet stone. Great with buttery or rich seafood dishes when you want a little extra polish.
🌸 Two Birds One Stone Rosé (Cinsault, France)
Pairs with: Grilled shrimp, salmon crostini, herby cheese dip
Floral and fruity with tangy red currant and citrus—easy to love and even easier to drink all afternoon.
🌊 Bodegas Zudugarai “Antxiola” Txakolina Rosé
Pairs with: Spicy shrimp skewers, ceviche tostadas
This Basque-country rosé is light, electric, and lightly fizzy. It's got just enough energy to cool the heat of spice-forward seafood.

🍔 Paso Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Pairs with: Burgers, carne asada tacos, ribeye skewers
A classic Paso Cab with ripe cherry, cassis, and a smooth finish. This one’s easy-drinking but hearty enough to stand up to your flame-kissed favorites. Medium bodied with balanced acidity gives way to easy pairing, and consistent sippin through the afternoon/evening.
🍖 Jaffurs Winery Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
Pairs with: BBQ ribs, grilled sausages, smoky steak
Loaded with blackberry, spice, and a savory, meaty core, this is a Syrah made for the grill. Bold, refined, and just the right amount of wild.

🍭 Sweet Endings: Wine & Dessert Pairings That Sparkle

🍓 Bele Casel Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry
Pairs with: Berry popsicles, lemon tarts, fruit salad
Elegant bubbles, crisp apple, floral notes, and just a hint of sweetness. It's light enough to not overpower dessert and festive enough to toast the night sky. Pair with apple pie a la mode or find that fruity popsicle and stick it in your glass of Prosecco for a fruity frosty treat to cool off.

🔥 Cantine Mossaikon Nero d’Avola
Pairs with: S’mores, dark chocolate bites
Dark fruit, baking spice, and cocoa undertones make this plush red a surprisingly amazing match for gooey marshmallows and melted chocolate. Bold enough to sip on its own by the firepit.
🎯 Pro Tips for a Star-Spangled Pour
- Chill like a pro: Whites and rosés should be around 45–50°F. Sparkling wines? Even colder.
- Glass hack: No fancy glassware required. Stemless or cocktail plastic cups get the job done.
- Bottle count: Plan for 1 bottle per 2 adults if the party’s going long.
- Serve in stages: Start with whites and rosés early. Pour reds with the grill. Pop something bubbly at dessert or fireworks time.
