It’s mid-July and summer is in full swing.
How are you celebrating the summer months?
Despite a busy season full of graduation parties, get-togethers, and more, the hubster and I have been trying to make the most of the warmer months.
Since we live in the suburbs of Chicago, there are about a million festivals, events, etc. going on every weekend. And I’m not complaining! I love living near Chicago…we’re just about 35 minutes away and can easily drive into the city to find some new festivals, bars, or restaurants to visit, or we can explore one of the many towns in the suburbs.
And nothing beats sitting outside with some food, drinks, and enjoying the warm weather. Whether it’s listening to a concert, exploring a festival, or entertaining in our own backyard, this is what summer is all about.
Of course, since I’m a food blogger, I love entertaining with some adult beverages and snacks. Nothing screams summer more than some delicious food and cold drinks. Am I right?
Last week, I stumbled upon Woodbridge Wine by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay & Cabernet Sauvignon. Have you seen this? With this wine, you don’t have to sacrifice quality for an on-the-go drink. It’s a convenient way to drink wine, no matter where you are, in a single-serve format.
Woodbridge Wine by Robert Mondavi has been around for over 30 years and is a product that you can trust. It’s made for sharing and can make any occasion fun. And since it’s a wine that is single serve and perfect for summer events, I knew this drink would become a favorite of mine.
After I stocked up on Woodbridge Wine by Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon, I headed home to pair it with a savory recipe that’s made for summer festivities, parties, and picnics.
This Rosemary Garlic Popcorn is drizzled with a buttery mix filled with fresh rosemary and a hint of garlic. Simple, easy, and perfect for on-the-go entertaining, this crunchy snack is sure to be the hit of any party!
Popcorn…you really can’t get much easier than this, right? The crisp texture, savory flavor and irresistible crunch was made for popcorn lovers everywhere. And if you’ve never tried a savory version like this Rosemary Garlic Popcorn, then you’re in for a real treat.
I love using fresh rosemary whenever I can. It’s fragrant and makes any dish come alive with flavor. And that’s why it pairs perfectly with the mixture of butter and garlic.
And like most of my recipes, this Rosemary Garlic Popcorn is a breeze to whip up. Simply stir together some melted butter and garlic powder until combined. Then, pour over a bowl of popped popcorn, top with fresh rosemary, and toss everything together. And that’s it!
I guarantee this popcorn will become your new favorite snack for the summer. It’s convenient to bring to parties, picnics, or just for entertaining in your own backyard. Serve this savory snack with Woodbridge Wine by Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon and your summer festivities will be the hit of the year!

Can you believe I’ve never been to Chicago?! I feel like that’s some sort of illegal considering people used to call me Chey-town in high school. lol. ONE day I will get there! Anyways, single serve wine?!! Holy bologna, that totally has my name on it. I am a popcorn addict, so this flavorful, pop-tastic creation definitely needs to happen in my house! Rosemary and garlic? Sign me up! Looks fabulous, Gayle! Pinned of course! Cheers!

You’ve got to experience Chicago sometime, Chey-town! 🙂 Isn’t single serve wine great? Thanks for the kind words and pin, friend!
