Seize the season! With these unexpected twists on warm-weather fun, you'll make memories that last long after Labor Day.
12. Tasting the Rainbow
Come Memorial Day, it seems like women are legally obligated to throw on pastel capri pants and bust out a bottle of rosé. Pedal pushers are between you and your god, but you can declare your freedom from tipple tyranny with a multicolored assortment of flavors. Try an orange wine, which gets its tint from the seeds and skins of white grapes; tart and fresh, it's a true beer lover's varietal (we like Tank Garage Winery's Lost at Last). A Portuguese "green," like the Casa do Capitão-Mor Alvarinho from winery Quinta de Paços, is as refreshing as lemonade but a little more rambunctious. And Madeline Puckette, sommelier and content director of WineFolly.com, says you shouldn't neglect reds: A Lambrusco or Zweigelt—served chilled—deserves a spot at your picnic.
