Cool Down With Wine This Summer

Summertime is prime time for colorful cocktails. Whether you are sipping poolside or imbibing on the beach, a good summer drink can make or break your day. But sometimes those cocktails and mixers can be overly sour or super sugary, which can lead to a headache and major buzzkill for a party. Add a fresh twist to your wine this summer with Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi wines. Try the PinotGrita, the Grapefruit Sauvignon Blanc Spritzer or Frozen Sauvignon Blanc Blueberry Lemonade the next time you’re in need of a refreshing cocktail.
