There’s nothing quite like the flavors of summertime! July is a time for us slow down, soak up the sunshine, and celebrate summer’s best moments. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, heading to the beach, or simply enjoying a laid-back evening with your loved ones, the right food and wine pairings can take your celebration to the next level.

At LaBelle Winery, we believe that every bite tastes better with the perfect glass of LaBelle wine. Here are four summertime foods and the LaBelle wines that make them shine that you should try this July:

PAIRING #1: Potato Chips & LaBelle Shimmer Wine

This surprisingly perfect pairing is simple yet satisfying, balancing salty crunches with bright bubbles! The potato chips pair beautifully with our Shimmer wine, a delicate and semi-dry sparkling wine, filled with crisp fruit & floral notes. This pairing is effortless, fun, and guaranteed to get the party started with a little sparkle.

PAIRING #2: Watermelon Slices & LaBelle Rosé Wine

Nothing says summer quite like a fresh, juicy watermelon slice, and it just so happens to pair beautifully with our Rosé wine. Our Rosé offers notes of ripe berries and a subtle floral finish, which complements the sweetness of the watermelon without overpowering it. We recommend chilling both the watermelon and wine for an ultimate cool-down combo!

PAIRING #3: New England Lobster Roll & LaBelle Seyval Blanc Wine

A summertime staple in New England, the lobster roll deserves a wine pairing that lets its delicate flavors shine! LaBelle Winery’s Seyval Blanc wine boasts floral, fruity notes which complement the richness of the lobster perfectly. It’s a seaside pairing that brings coastal flavors right to the heart of your own home.

PAIRING #4: Firecracker Popsicle & LaBelle Sparkling Rosé Wine

Who says wine pairings can’t be playful? Pairing LaBelle Winery’s Sparkling Rosé wine with a red, white, and blue firecracker popsicle is a fun nod to childhood nostalgia! Our Sparkling Rosé wine boasts a refreshing acidity with floral aromas that perfectly compliments the sweet and fruity flavors of the firecracker popsicle.
