Wines for Your July 4th Celebration

Celebrating the Fourth of July includes grilling over an open flame and enjoying the great American outdoors.  So what wines will go with grilled meats and a hot summer day?  Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc.

Zinfandel is the American grape varietal.  It has a history in the United States dating back to the 1800′s. In fact, for decades it was the most widely planted grape in California.  Also, red Zinfandel goes great with a variety of grilled meats.  The bold, fruit-forward wine picks up on the smokey flavors while the hints of black pepper will cut through the meats texture and fat.  So think Zin for your grilled red meats or anything slathered in BBQ sauce.

Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape varietal that is crisp and clean with a backbone of citrus fruit.  It certainly goes down easy on a hot summer day.  Whether you are planning to throw some shrimp on the barbie, grill up some vegetables, or just toss together a salad – Sauvignon Blanc’s high acidity makes it a perfect pair for each dish.

These wines are not only good wines for your July 4th celebration, but good grilling wines for the rest of summer.  Check out MyWineDeal for deals on both varietals.   Cheers to the Red, White, and Brew! Oops…Blue ;)

Need some last minute gift ideas on what to get your dad for Father’s Day?  Forget the ties, get your dad something he’ll really love – wine!  We have a the perfect gifts for every vino loving Father.

Is your dad a handyman? If thats the case, then you have to get him this Bosch IXO cordless screwdriver with a corkscrew adapter.  It will make him feel like Tim ‘The Tool Man’ Taylor each time he opens up a bottle of wine.  And lucky for you, he’ll probably want to pop open bottles more often.  Find it here.

Is your dad the life of the party? And by that I mean is he always bringing wine to every family gathering?  If so, he needs this beautiful leather wine bottle carrier.  It’s a stylish and safe way to transport his favorite wine to the next party.  Find it here.

Is your dad constantly watching sports?  For Father’s Day get him a wine bottle stopper of his favorite sports team.  It will keep his wine fresh while showing his pride for his favorite team each time he doesn’t finish a bottle of wine (uh yea…).  Find it here.

Is your dad the adventurous type?  Sign him for a wine club at MyWineDeal so he can try new and exciting bottles of wine each month or each quarter.   It’s the gift that keeps on giving.  Find it here.
