The big day of celebratory Fun, Food, and beverage! Grilling outdoors? Remember this--using charcoal opens up a little more consideration for your wine pairing. The flavors of open coal BBQing of red meats allows you to go with *Zinfandels, Sirahs, Syrahs (depends on the country of origin--same grape!)
Seafood? Again pair your wine to the sauce if there is one, and if not Zinfandel would still work but a nice chilled rosé might be more suitable to your hot summer fun!
I am not being a snob here but Zinfandel means the robust red wine, NOT WHITE Zinfandel which is neither Zin, nor White.
Confused with all the choices out there? Sparkling wines tend to go well with just about everything.
So remember the reason for the holiday if you're American and raise a glass to the Founding Fathers who gave us the most prosperous, and wondrous nation on Earth. Raise a glass!
AND.....of course, there's always BEER!
