It’s a steamy 90+ degrees here in Napa today which isn’t ideal for enjoying a big glass of Cabernet. Normally a dry rosé or crisp white wine is our thing during a heatwave, but not today! We keep an open mind about interesting food and drink concoctions. So when we learned about the concept of the wine slushie you better believe we broke out the blender, grabbed the rest of the Ygrec and some fruit, then went to town making enough to share around the office. Moments later everyone was sliding their Ray-Bans on, propping their flip flops up on desks, and bobbing to Jimmy Buffet’s “Boat Drinks”.

Now that we’re back on dry ground, please indulge in some of the tastiest wine slushie recipes we found.

Strawberry Peach Wine Slushie

Probably one of the best looking concoctions in the list, and the most likely to induce jealousy in your underage children.

Peach & Honey Sangria Smoothie

The ultimate warm weather version of Sangria. They use a Riesling in the recipe, but a vibrant Torrontes or zesty Pinot Grigio might make an ideal substitute.

The recipe calls for a sweet red table wine, but may we suggest a sparkling Lambrusco instead?

Moscato Peach Slushies

The recipe calls for Moscato but we’d try an off-dry Riesling, or even a Gruner for some added zippiness.
