We love this time of year. Spring has sprung and outdoor dining is suddenly possible! Last night was perfect—balmy enough even after sunset to sit in your shirtsleeves while enjoying a glass of something special; in our case, a glass of David Fletcher’s absolutely wonderful Favorita followed, with the pasta, a glass (several glasses, to be honest) of the Bagnasco sisters’ pitch-perfect Langhe Nebbiolo.

Here are some Friday Follies recommendations for your own backyard soirée! Order $360 from the offer and we’ll even send ‘em to you.

Location, location, location! We discovered not too long ago that Sonoma-Cutrer’s top-quality Russian River Ranches cuvée is largely sourced from the Chardonnay vines planted on either side of the driveway that runs up to the hill to the...
