Coming up on this week’s show, drinking options for July 4th weekend, or any summertime cookout, as we welcome special guests to help us sort through the scenarios. From low alcohol cocktails to juicy red wines that pair well with beef. We’re talking about what to drink this weekend, as we head into the July 4th festivities in America, but really, anyone can try these creations anytime this summer. Chicago’s top tiki mixologists Paul McGee treats us to a porch pounding, beat the heat, summer low alcohol cocktail.  Then, Craig Perman, owner of Perman Wine Selections in Chicago, joins us to taste rosés and reds, since there will be a fair amount of pork and beef that’s tossed onto backyard grills this weekend.
