5 Drinks You Should Be Sipping This Summer

Whether you’re lounging on a porch swing, picnicking at Railroad Park, or posted up at the bar at Board In Birmingham—summer is for sipping. We’ve rounded up five sunny stunners that are stealing the show this season. From crisp whites to fizzy rosé and a beer with serious main character energy, here’s what we’re pouring (and pairing) this summer:

🌞

1. Drop of Sunshine Chardonnay

Golden, bright, and a little flirty.

Don’t let the name fool you—this is not your mama’s heavy-handed butter bomb. Drop of Sunshine is fresh, fruit-forward, and totally crushable. Think pineapple, crisp apple, and that warm little kiss of oak at the end. Perfect with brie, fresh berries, and sun-drenched patios.

Pairs best with: our fruit-forward boards or anything with honeycomb.

2. Chandon Garden Spritz

Bubbly, botanical, and better than any mimosa.

This isn’t just a spritz, it’s a lifestyle. Chandon took their classic sparkling wine and added a zesty orange peel & spice blend for the ultimate aperitif. It’s slightly bitter, subtly sweet, and made for golden hour.

Pairs best with: marcona almonds, goat cheese, and a gossip session.

3. La Marca Prosecco Rosé

Rosé + bubbles = your new favorite party trick.

Light, elegant, and so easy to love. With notes of strawberry, peach, and citrus blossom, La Marca Rosé is basically a celebration in a glass. It’s just as at home at a rooftop brunch as it is in your bathtub on a Tuesday.

Pairs best with: creamy cheeses, prosciutto, and your cutest outfit.

4. True Love by Martin House Brewing

Fruity. Funky. Unexpected.

This sour beer is like your summer crush—playful, a little tart, and totally addictive. Brewed with raspberries, it brings the perfect punch of brightness and refreshment for hot Alabama days. Not into beer? This one might change your mind.

Pairs best with: aged cheddar, strawberries, and a little chaos.

🍷

5. Hahn Cabernet Sauvignon

Big red fans, don’t worry—we got you.

Just because it’s hot out doesn’t mean you have to give up your bold reds. Hahn Cab is smooth, rich, and balanced enough to still feel refreshing when served slightly chilled (yes, that’s allowed). Dark cherry, cocoa, and a little spice? Yes please.

Pairs best with: manchego, smoked meats, and late-night convos.
