August 9, 2024 | wag goodbye to the dog days of summer

Sultry, sticky, hot, humid - whatever words you prefer to describe them, the Dog Days of Summer are traditionally the steamiest part of the season! Ancient Hellenistic societies associated the yearly heat wave with the rising of the 'Dog Star' Sirius, heralding a time of madness-inducing heat, drought, bad storms, bad luck, and lethargy, while The Old Farmer's Almanac simply defines them as the "40 days beginning July 3 and ending August 11".

Whether you embrace the Dog Days as a chance to get some serious pool time or just spend some serious (or "Sirius") time chilling on the couch, we're toasting the astronomical and meteorological changing of the times with three new wines that happily provide a palate refresh no matter the weather!

Stop by today (8.9) from 4-7 for a taste!
