Happy National Picnic Day!

Picture this: a blanket strewn across freshly cut grass. Chilled wine poured and in hand. Perfectly placed platters of delicious nibbles and snacks, well within reach. Shoes off. Shades on.

That’s right, folks. Al fresco dining season is HERE!

There is nothing I love more than dining outdoors! Especially when “dining” can mean varying degrees of effort. I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite picnic-worthy recipes to inspire and encourage you to get outdoors. What’s more, is my friend Carin of Pairs Well With… has curated a diverse list of fun and fresh wines that pair perfectly with each of these recipes! Head on over to her site to check out her pairings for yourself. My top pick from her list for warmer weather imbibing? Grillo.
