Fantastic Ways To Spend Memorial Day, In and Around Naperville!
Memorial Day weekend is here and that means the start of Summer! Lazy days by the pool, family vacations, relaxing with a cool drink outside, golden tans, and toes in the sand. We’re so ready for this season and especially this time-honored celebration of the countless men and women who have died, serving in the military, helping to serve our country and protect our freedom. There are so many ways to celebrate this Federal holiday, so be sure to enjoy this day and all that it represents. From memorial services to cookouts and re-opening of those swimming pools!
Here are just SOME of the great things going on around the area over the holiday weekend, May 25-28:

Delicious Spring and Simmer wines (that AREN’T Rosé):
1.Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon blends
What more is there to say about Sauvignon Blanc? Only that there is much more variety than ever before and that quality seems on an unstoppable upward curve. Try those from South Africa if you’re not familiar with them. And revisit white Bordeaux and other Sauvignon-Semillon blends.
*Best food pairings: goats’ cheese, asparagus, grilled fish and other seafood, dishes flavoured with coriander and dill
2.Prosecco
The Veneto’s utterly charming sparkling wine, softer and more rounded than Champagne. It mixes fabulously well with fresh summer fruits such as peaches and raspberries as in the famous Bellini
*Best food pairings:stuffed mushrooms, creamy sauces, almonds, seafood, fried fare, spicy Asian entrees and even potato chips or buttered popcorn
3.Dry Riesling
Like Marmite Riesling tends to polarise wine drinkers - some love it, some hate it. There’s no denying though that its crisp, fresh flavours and modest levels of alcohol it makes perfect spring sipping. If it’s the sweetness you’re not sure about stick to Alsace Riesling, German kabinett Riesling or Clare Valley Riesling from Australia. If it’s the typical kerosene flavours it can acquire with age, stick to younger wines.
*Best food pairings: Smoked fish especially smoked salmon, crab, trout, smoked chicken, salads,Cantonese and lightly spiced south-east Asian food
