Let's do some forecasting: Summer will push on through September. (But don't worry about buying an air conditioner - get some Riesling instead.)

Why? Because we've teamed up with Paul Grieco and his merry band of Riesling-heads down at Terroir and take note: We're extending the "Summer of Riesling" to co-conspire on a number of joint photo shoots, events, round tables and tandem Riesling-celebrations.

What's happening right now and how does this affect your day-to-day life? If you find yourself south of 14th Street and parched, looking for a place to sit and imbibe this world's holiest grape, go to Terroir, tell 'em we sent you and grab yourself a glass of Riesling and a plate of Schnitzel for $15. It's a start. (Next? The world.)

Come to Crush and we've got the whole slew of Terroir "Summer of Riesling" paraphenalia you didn't know you can't live without, but you can't. "Summer of Riesling" T-Shirts, tatoos and the ever-popular Pradikat buttons.

We're currently in an undisclosed location plotting more Riesling misadventures. Stay tuned...
