Summer Reading and Wine Pairings
We checked our calendars and there are more than enough lazy summer afternoons left to sit back and escape with a great book.
Our friends at HarperCollins helped us put this list of summer must-have titles to celebrate the release of Susan Mallery’s Daughters of the Bride – a must-read novel of the summer, masterfully mixing love, laughter and family drama. It hit bookstore shelves this July and debuted at #15 on the New York Times Bestseller List!
Bonus: we created these snarky Middle Sister wines bookmarks. Print out a few for your next book club!
And in true Wine Sister-style, we’ve paired all of the titles with a Middle Sister wine. Don’t forget that Drama Queen Pinot Grigio makes a cameo appearance in Daughters of the Bride!
Find a quiet place to sit, soak up the sun and open up one of these fantastic summer reads:

I wish you had a printable list of titles & wines so I wouldn’t have to set my glass down to copy all this information.

Thanks for the idea, Linda! We don’t have a printable list, but we can see how valuable that would be. We’ll make sure we include one in our next reading list post.
