Where to Get To-Go Wine and Beer Under Quarantine
Photo courtesy of Rhodora Wine Bar
As much as I love a good cocktail, sometimes the only amount of work I can muster is pouring a glass of wine or opening a beer. And I don’t know about you, but in the EIGHTH WEEK of quarantine, I have days where I want to put in the time to make a cocktail and I have other days where I absolutely do not. And that’s ok! Anything is ok right now! Which means that your fridge might need to be stocked with some more wine and beer for those “I just can’t even” moments. A lot of restaurants are making their wines and beers available for delivery or takeout which is freakin’ great. But what about those wine bars and breweries and other places that still need some love?
Like our previous list of where to get to-go cocktails under quarantine, this is a (small, by no means complete) collection of some spots that focus on wine and beer, for when you just can’t even.
If you’ve gotten to-go wine or beer and would like to review it for Girl’s Guide, email a photo of the drink and your thoughts about it to agirlsguidetodrinkingalone@gmail.com.
