With summer officially starting later this month, I wanted to put together a sampler loaded with wines for some of my favorite summer wine pairings.
A 12-bottle sampler featuring two wines introduced during each decade since Kermit opened his shop in 1972.
It's time to take the ice bucket out of its winter hibernation and put a chill on some bright, juicy reds.
