Editor’s Note
This has not been a normal summer: from tornado warnings around NYC and crazy wildfires across the Northern Hemisphere to the enjoyable craziness around New Jersey hosting the World Cup final. (Congrats to Spain’s World Cup wines!)
 
 
Fortunately, this week, my part of the country has moved into beautiful, ‘normal’ July weather, and I am finding normalcy and respite in a good glass of wine. By normalcy, I don’t mean the same old, same old. I mean the familiar pleasures of exploring a zippy white or a light red from a grape or region I don’t know well.

For inspiration, the wine director of Manhatta – one of New York City’s most impressive restaurants – is sharing her summer favorites, from a truly good Prosecco to a rosé with substance to a summer red from Corsica.

And what’s summer without a good book to read, a challenging game to play or travel plans to make while sipping that wine? I’ve rounded up some of the best from the Decanter team for you here.

So kick back, relax and dive into this newsletter for some weekend fun!
