Do you love wine? Check. Do you love subscription boxes? Check. Do you wish there were more options available for adult-themed boxes with delicious wines included? We agree, but also there’s a point to be made that saving money is the ultimate goal these days, and it makes sense that subscription wine boxes might get pretty pricey. Generally, yes, that’s true, but Wine.com’s Wine Club is offering an excellent deal right now. When you sign up for the subscription wine box, you’ll get $50 off your first box.

This highly curated wine box is amazing, and it’s designed just for you — yes, you. It’s super easy to get started, and there are no shipping costs or added fees. Just sign up, pick a price range starting at $120 per box, and a delivery interval — every 1, 2, or 3 months — and you’re done. Check out some more details below, like what types of wine they offer or how it all works, or just get started if you’d like. Remember, you’ll save $50 on your first box thanks to the current deal.

Still here? So, here’s how it all works. After you sign up and set your parameters, you’ll take a short quiz to let the Wine.com team know what kinds you like. You’ll be paired with a real wine expert, or what the club calls “your personal Somm,” short for Sommelier. Oh, how fancy, right? They’ll spend time between each shipment tailoring the new collection to your tastes, and they’ll even share notes about why they picked certain wines, and why they think they were a right fit. Who knows, you might even be able to pair the perfect wine with your next beef meal. It’s divine.

The wines arrive on your doorstep, you open them and drink them when you’re ready, and then you rate each type you try. Your personal Somm will learn, over time, what you like and don’t like and will continue to adjust your personal selections. It definitely beats getting lost in the wine section or huge wineries trying to figure out what to buy. Someone who knows their stuff is picking out the wines for you. It’s all very wine country.

Nevertheless, if it sounds interesting to you — and why wouldn’t it — you can get an excellent deal right now and save some money on your first wine box. For a limited time, when you sign up, you’ll get $50 off which is pretty close to the cost of two bottles, give or take. So, you’re basically getting one bottle of wine for free, at the very least. This is real, high-quality wine from some of the best wineries across the world. Sicilian wines perhaps? From Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeax Blends to Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Riesling, and beyond. Definitely give it a look if you enjoy wine.

How to make Frosé for a heat wave cool off
Your guide to making this staple summer drink
Bar Primi Frose

It's hot out there, people. And one of the absolute best ways to cool off is by way of a great frozen cocktail. So, let us introduce you to the pink wine-inspired Frosé, an ideal drink for the next heat wave.

But first, a little history. The Frosé was allegedly born at Bar Primi in NYC. The drink is very much as advertised, a rosé wine-centric frozen cocktail (hence, the name). The Italian joint's general manager, Justin Sievers, came up with the drink, treating guests to an ice-cold pink concoction that's all the better during the middle of summer.

Dry aged steak: Everything you need to know
Just like wine and cheese, steak just gets better with age.
Dry aged steak

 

If you're anything like us, one of your go-to happy places is likely a dark and moody gourmet steakhouse, complete with mustachio'd barkeeps and their impressive list of extravagant steak and bourbon pairings. If this is a scene that sounds familiar to you, you probably know a little something about dry-aged steaks. Until just recently, these incredible pieces of meat were only available in upscale steakhouses, very high-end grocers, and specialty butcheries. Thanks to the passage of time and whispers of praise, however, word eventually got out about how incredible dry-aged steaks are, and now they're much more widely accessible online and even at some mid-level grocery stores.

One of the OGs of the U.S. craft beer scene, Fat Tire, is teaming up with skateboard brand Vans to create new summer packaging for its beer and a range of merch including some branded Vans slip-ons. Known originally for its amber ale which has been reformulated (somewhat contentiously) over the years, Fat Tire is one of the important brands in craft beer history and has recently pushed for a more sustainable approach to its beer brewing.

The brand is partnering with Vans to use its iconic checkboard pattern, known as "Off the Wall" on cans of its ale for the summer. The merch collection being released alongside the limited edition packaging includes hats, shirts, a cooler, and most enticingly, a pair of slip-ons that have the Fat Tire logo and slogan on the back of the heel.
