A perfect summer playlist, inspired by: piquenique and fête

Growing up, one of my favorite things to do was to make an ultimate summer playlist— especially with my mom and childhood best friend. It was always a bit of a rollercoaster, as there were songs pulled from various genres and spanned from the 1960s to the 2010s but it was one of the highlights of my summer. To continue the tradition, I started a summer playlist that is inspired by the oh–so–summery wines: piquenique and fête. I made sure to include a mix of genres and eras to cater to all of you! I have selected 10 songs for each wine, easy to mix and match, or add a song or two to your own personal playlist.
