Summer Drinking

Heard about those storms that whacked the Northeast on Tuesday night, knocking out power to thousands? Well, the Baseball household was one of the thousands affected and the power is still not on. The resulting frustration of having to live in the sticky heat without A/C is a great excuse, beyond the normal ones, to imbibe cool refreshing alcoholic beverages. Beer, of course, is great, but I am trying to do something about those love handles that Mrs. Baseball affectionately but admonishingly pinches now and again. So what are some of my "go tos" for casual weeknight imbibing?

Muscadet - about as uncomplicated and unpretentious a wine as you can get, and delicious too, and it's a wine you can drink alot of. Yes it's French, but it is from way out west near the city of Nantes where they aren't really French, they're celtic, so it wins a pass.

Any Spanish Rose - get over the pink wine heeby-geebies, the Spaniards make delicious, refreshing stuff from almost any region, so you can't go wrong.

I raise a glass to my readers!
