In the summer we love to have drinks and dinner parties. You can go to a terrace for this, but you can also do this in your own backyard or on the balcony. And the evening wouldn’t be complete without a nice dinner and a good bottle of wine. That’s why we came up with a light, summery dish and a sparkling drink: flatbread pizza and a white wine Spritzer. The fresh meal with a light wine makes this the perfect ‘wine and dine’ combination for a summer day!
