Wondering what to sip at your 4th of July barbeque? Once again, Sasha saves the day, suggesting not one but three party-friendly wines -- The Chook Sparkling Shiraz from Australia, a Charles Smith 'Kung Fu Girl' Riesling from Washington state, and a Cline Zinfandel from California.

To calculate just how many bottles you'll need to keep your crowd happy, Sasha recommends this handy formula from Bottle Rocket. And if you still need menu ideas, check out 18 of our favorite summer drinks, sides, mains and desserts here.

You're welcome! I know, the Charles Smith labels are great. I actually wrote about them on my blog if you're interested in more info.
