Wine And Cocktails: A Summer Wine Cocktail List To Knock Your Socks Off

 

Are wine and cocktails the new winning combo? According to Wine Enthusiast, the answer is yes! We’ve come up with a Summer Wine Cocktail Recipes list that will knock your socks off as you soak up these last few weeks of warm weather!

Here at RoxyAnn Winery, we believe that wine is for anyone and can be enjoyed a thousand different ways. Some winemakers will shy away from adding anything to their curated vintages because they feel it compromises the integrity of their wines. 

While we work tirelessly to create connoisseur quality, award-winning Oregon Wines, we also believe that they can be enjoyed creatively in a way that actually celebrates the flavors and intricacies of the wine!

If you’ve been curious about combining wine and cocktails for awhile, then look no further for a comprehensive list of amazing summer wine cocktail recipes to fit every mood and occasion!
