As we finally get back into the swing of things, we have a bunch of Fourth of July fun for you–whether you plan on spending it inside or around town. Check out all the things happening this Fourth of July.
Thanks to St. Clair Wine for sponsoring this post. For nearly 40 years, St. Clair wines have been crafted in the stunning high deserts of southern New Mexico.
Some might think growing grapes in the desert is impossible. But the Lescombes family are sixth-generation winemakers that know the lands of southern New Mexico offer the perfect alchemy of sun, soil, and soul for grapes that perfectly distill the essence of New Mexico into a glass of wine.
Their selection of award-winning red, white, and sparkling varietals offers wine drinkers a taste of New Mexico unlike any other.
