Wine and Grilling

It's that time of year again. While we are still trying to find ourselves a backyard to do some real grilling (curse you, NYC Real Estate market!), we have done our best with the stove-top grill to try out some summer recipes in the past. In preparation of the holiday weekend, here are a few of our favorite attempts from the past year at finding the perfect wine for summer foods off the grill.

Summer Foods

Snack Foods

Steak

Game day wine

We’ve been trying wine with different, unexpected foods all year. Wine with Buffalo Wings, picnic food, and … With the “Big Game” coming up, we thought we’d keep on with that experiment, and try a bottle with some typical game snack foods.

Keeping it simple, we decided on a just few, easy snacks: Chips with cauliflower dip, nachos, and chicken tenders. While the cold weather makes us lean towards a red wine, the fatty nature of the food, along with the idea of drinking throughout several hours of entertainment pushed us towards a crisp white, so we selected a bottle of Viridian Pinot Gris.
