Ixsir “Altitudes” Blanc – Batroun Lebanon.  indigenous varietal, Obeidy, with Muscat and Viognier, this full, aromatic white has notes of white peach, Jasmine, and nutmeg with a core of flint that makes it powerful and refreshing.  Pairs well with baked Haddock, fish or clam chowder, and pasta Florentine.
Winzer Sommerach Grauburgunder Trocken (dry) – Franken, Germany.  varietal, Grauburgunder, this crisp, dry white is lemon and lime on the palate, with a touch of quince, around a core of minerality that makes it the perfect summer quaffer. Pairs well with all grilled fish and pasta primavera.
Minuty “M” Rosé – Côtes de Provence, France. produced from organically grown, hand-harvested Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah grapes.  It is clean, light and crisp, with abundant raspberry and strawberry fruit for refreshing summer drinking.  Pairs well with lobster, crab, or seafood salad or a cool Gazpacho!
Viña Alberdi Rioja Reserva – Rioja, Spain.  100% Tempranillo grown organically, the grapes are crushed and fermented with full malolactic treatment, followed by two years of ageing in America oak barrels, making for a luscious, powerful, and serious wine.  Known for its versatility with food.  Pairs well with everything from roast lamb to paella – the perfect red for any summer feast!

Carol Mondello writes- I have some volunteers leaving for the season, if you’ve thought about doing this but were worried about the full summer commitment this is a great way to try it out to see if you like it. It’s really a good time!

I’ve said this at least a dozen times on the podcast.

I’d love to start a company and call it analog and sell newly manufactured old school appliances.

Ones that lasted and even when they did start to break down on year 20 or so, you could replace the parts in no time at all for cheap.
