Every day through Memorial Day, I’ll be making a suggestion of what to drink during the holiday weekend. These suggestions don’t expire on Monday. They’re good all summer long. And yes, they’re available at Frankly Wines. Because this is a store blog.
Holiday Weekend Suggestion #1: A Case of Something Cheap and Cheerful
Summer weekends, especially holiday weekends = roof parties. Beach houses. Or maybe just quality time on your tiny balcony or fire escape. In any case, you’ll need something to drink. And something to serve your friends to drink at your place. And something to take to their place…
So if ever there was a time to stock up and buy wine by the case, summertime would be it. Nothing too complicated. Nothing that breaks the bank*. Just cheap and cheerful crowd pleasers. Ideally a mix of whites, reds, and roses.
If you ask, any good wine store should be able to put a summer stock-up case together for well under $150. At Frankly Wines, we can get you a 12-bottle case of mix and matched reds and whites for $100.Or 8 reds/white + 4 roses for $120. If you stop by this Thursday (May 27), we’ll even let you try before you buy. Click here to learn more.
*If you do want to break the bank, we’re happy to make some recommendations.
