Wine Shopping with Wine For Normal People in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution

I posted this on Facebook but forgot to post it here, so here I go!

I was so fortunate to be featured last week in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution Online (and get a blurb in the Food pages of the physical paper too!). Jenny Turknett is a wonderful writer and did a very fun piece that featured tips on my view on how to break down a wine shop to make it all digestible and easy. It goes along with the podcast from a few weeks back, so if you liked that, this is just more of the same, but in writing!

Here's the link:

Also, as a shameless plug, if you're in Atlanta or have a budget for travel and are interested in having me at your next event please contact me at elizabeth(at)winefornormalpeople(dot)com!

Wine For Normal People Radio : Episode 020 Best Wines for July 4th/Summer

Of course I love M.C. Ice and for those of you who are with me, don't worry -- he'll make appearances again, but Rick is back from hiatus (which he took because his business is en fuego, not for any other weird reason as some people speculated...).

We returned with bang for the 4th. We give some great red, white, and rosé wine recommendations for your 4th of July and Summer outings AND include some stuff on sparklers too (not the kind you light on fire). We focus on food pairings and gift ideas.

Here are the Show Notes:

• A new, shorter intro to get right into the good stuff

Main Topic - Wines for 4th of July festivities and other Summer sippers

• Red Wines - Pairing suggestions for grilled foods, light reds for sipping, and which red wines to bring as gifts
• White Wines - Refreshing choices for the Summer heat, some food pairing ideas, and which white wines would go over well at a party
• Rosé Wines - Not all are created equal... We provide some tips on picking the best rosé wines

...and the Grape of the Week - Grenache (or Garnacha): The flavor profiles and a little history on the grape

Have you tried a Grenache/Garnacha? If so, join the conversation on the Wine For Normal Peopel Facebook page
