Ancient sky watchers like the Greeks and Romans noticed that during this mid-summer period, Sirius\u2014the brightest star in the sky and the \u201cDog Star\u201d in the constellation Canis Major\u2014rose and set in conjunction with the sun. Because Sirius is so bright, they incorrectly believed that the star added its own heat to the Sun\u2019s, creating the extreme, oppressive temperatures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Historically, this time was feared as a period of drought, fever, and general bad luck. Today, the phrase is just used to describe the peak of summer heat and, if you can roll with Florence above, her unfettered happiness while \u201crunning really, really fast\u201d with her eyes closed. <\/p>\n<p>I get it. I can fully relate to Flo\u2019s heatstroke-inspired rapture and I hope to make it so you can too\u2014\u2018cause there\u2019s a couple of months of dog days yet to come! If you believe in the magical power of a French-style dry Rose on the beach or poolside, a chilled crisp white wine as prelude, accompaniment, or simply replacement for dinner when the air conditioner can no longer cut it, or a perfect nouveau-rich red blend for every picnic, BBQ, or midnight meal you ever eat outside, then here\u2019s an offer to make you as happy as a dog with two tails\u2026 to stay with the pooch theme.<\/p>\n<p><span>So here\u2019s the deal.
