This edition of our biweekly tasting invites you to slow down and savor wines made for ease and leisure. Think picnic-perfect pours that feel just right beneath the shade of a tree. As summer gives way to cooler afternoons, we’ll be pairing these relaxed, linger-worthy bottles with a special collaboration from Buckhead Butcher Shop, featuring a selection of their cured meats, steak, and seasonal accompaniments like local jams and butters.
