The clouds are gray, it smells like rain, wondering if we’re ever going to get snow again.

It does seem to be raining quite a bit these days. But don’t let that dampen your mood too much. This week we’re shining some rays down on a few bottles that remind us of better weather–if not outside our windows, then in our minds and our glasses.

Light on Precipitation

Rosa Duck Pet Nat ($22) Embrace the rain and think of summer showers. Peaches and grapefruit provide a playful fizz, like jumping in a puddle.

Hugel Gentil ($17) The Alsace region has one of the lowest rainfall stats in France. Channel that radiance and warmth through this suave, spicy blend.

Rays on a Red Vineyard

Azimut Negre ($17) Smoky yet fresh; full of shine.

Luiz Perez el Triangulo ($20) Red fruit with spicy black pepper. Hot like the sun by a cool sea.

Lyrarakis Liatiko ($22) Herbal notes and wild berries take you on a tasting vacation to the Greek Isles.

Spirited Sunshine

Matchbook’s No Where Sun Kissed + Stargazed Triple Sec ($26). Keeping things local on the distillery end, with the flavors of the tropics to give light to your next cocktail. Transport yourself–no passport required!
