What do you drink in the heat?

100 degrees here in Dallas. Pool feels like a sauna. Just back from a 10am bike ride, and the heat is stifling. This heat has got me in a wine slump. What are y’all drinking to beat the heat?

How cool do you drink it?

Straight out of the fridge.

I spend more time reorganizing the wine cellar where it is a cool 54 degrees…here in Seattle many of us do not have air conditioning, and we had some days in the 90’s a couple weeks ago, and the wine cellar is the only cool room in my house. And, boring me, I still drink what I drink the rest of the year…red and white Burgundy…just drink the red straight out of the cellar at cellar temp and let it warm up as I drink it.

Refrigerator cold Chablis for me.

Usually Chards, but last night at a German restaurant, German beer on tap !
Was excellent !

or non-alc

Yep, good beer (Gose, Berliner weisse, kolsch, etc.) or gin & tonics!

Oooh, goodness how delicious. Dangerous as a thirst quencher, though.

Rosé or beer. Or champagne.

Well-chilled. Has a slight spritz that is very refreshing. Also like some sort of beer like Sam Adams Porch Rocker, which is kind of like a ratler - lemonade and beer

Vinho verde. The cheaper the better. Trader Joe’s has a great one for about $4.

Txakolina has to be the best warm weather wine I can think of. Shame so little is in distribution and the summer temps make it tough to ship.

A nice tart dry cider.

Nothing a nap can’t fix! Just polished off one.
