When summer is in full swing, Minnesotans scramble to cool off. Some of us find swimming holes or float trips to cool us down in the summer heat. Others head indoors to take in some much-needed air conditioning. And still others rely on ice cream, popsicles, and other cold treats to cool us down in the heat of the day. Each of these ideas works great, but today we want to focus on another cool treat to add to your list of hot weather coping strategies. At one Minnesota vineyard, you can get frozen wine slushies to cool you down under the hot summer sun. They’re absolutely delicious, and you have to check them out. Take a look:
