Ugh.Those soggy, hot August Dog Days are upon us. Normally, this is the time that “get-up-and-go” activities fall off to almost nothing except for school starting and temperatures soaring up to the high 90s. Not so for this August. No one needs sunscreen in an air-conditioned room. Opportunities abound to sip and savor your favorite beers, wines, and spirits. There is so much to do and so little time! From the South’s largest German Bierfest to the promise (maybe) of a La Tomatina festival tomato fight, the list goes on and on and on. Folks bus to VIP brewery tours; executives from Italy, Oregon, California and Spain are visiting offering wines. There are celebrations for delicious craft beers and a new growler shop opening -- even …

Celebrate wine, champagnes, whiskey and beer along with spring.
From the Parti Gras in Mableton to beer festivals in Athens and Atlanta, a UGA Bulldog party, a French Champagne tasting to an Irish Pub’s whiskey tasting, April festivities are stacking up to offer a diverse selection of events -- everything from a beer-filled “dunk” tank to a Champagne dessert reception in Marietta commemorating a Civil War incident. April 4. At a wine tasting from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, the Marietta Wine Market offers select red and white wines from California’s Livermore Valley vintners Wente Vineyards and Murietta’s Well. Murietta’s Well, for example, whose top wines are named “The Whip” and “The Spur,” was founded in the 1850s and bought later by the Wente family. In 1889 a Livermore winery won Le Grand Prix at the …
