There are birthday dinners… and then there’s this. Cue the Dean Martin playlist and pour the limoncello, because this year I threw myself the Italian birthday party of my dreams — and it was molto bene.

Race fans, foodies, and backyard hangout lovers — this one’s for you. With the Greatest Spectacle in Racing on the screen and a chilled glass of @cleanslatewines Riesling in hand, we’re fully embracing that small-town Americana meets big race day energy.

There’s nothing quite like a limoncello spritz in your backyard on a summer day! Talk about backyard bliss.
