I’m all about rose with my BBQ. Set aside a 16 and 17 Tercero, 17 Bedrock and will also dig into a sparkling, perhaps Paul Bara Brut rose
Too stinking hot here to even think about it…
Beer or ale then
Rosé of Pinot Noir from Oregon.
Copious IPAs.
Under The Wire 2013 Brosseau Vineyard Sparkling Pinot Noir Chalone
Chantereves St. Romain Blanc 2016.
Probably some Rose too.
Zinfandel on July 4, always; this year a Ridge Pagani with barbecue. Vegas weather is seasonally mild, around 105-107 and 112 for the weekend. Perfect zin weather.
Fluteau Cuvee Symbiose 2008, followed by maybe a Dirty & Rowdy unfamiliar or Tercero aberration for the bbq!
1996 Vilmart Cuvee Creation and 2016 von Winning Kirchenstuck GG
Has to be a French wine, for - without them - the United States would not be here. With the weather as hot as it is, something a little lighter today.
Bourbon shots and Tecate
Started out with Froze made with JL Jamet Rose de Syrah and followed that with FroBurg made with Harmand-Geoffrey BR… Sometimes you have to think outside the box…
Someone earlier said Zin so I went with that. So far we have a Bedrock OVZ 16 and Schramsburg Brut rose 14 opened. The Bedrock is tasting mighty fine. Will prob pop a rose for the hot dogs

Perrier Jouet Belle Époque 2006
Started with bottomless bloody marys; now walking 4 miles to the Modern Times tasting room . . .
Crux Pilsner with lunch
Later today, 2017 Kelley Fox Freedom Hill Pinot Blanc and perhaps some beer
My aunt & uncle we’re up visiting from Florida…so it was time for something a little special.
Ridge and ribs. The perfect marriage. It’s been the choice for 15 years now.
