Summer is fast approaching and little is better
than sitting down and relaxing with a great book and a nice glass of your favorite wine or spirit. Whether it be outside by the pool, on a
blanket at the beach, or inside on your cozy couch; the right book combined
with the right drink, makes for a great escape.
With this in mind, we polled the Bounty Hunter team to ask them for their favorite literary and
vinous pairings. If you’ve been looking to add something to your Summer
reading list (and your Summer drinking list!) then pick a book, pair it with a
tasty beverage, and let your mind run wild!
