Top Wines for your Memorial Day B-que.



Great Grillin’ Wines:
The unabashed bold flavors of grilled meats make us think of big bold reds. The wine should be able to enhance the meats, yet not compete with either the spiciness, or the sweetness of the sauce. Although many associate a hot summer day and barbequing with a beer – the truth is nothing pairs as nicely with the light summer vegetables, appetizers and grilled fish as a nice cool glass of white wine. For the perfect catch-all wine that is sure to please, a rosé is your best bet.

We recommend these Super Grillin’ Wines:
Nouveau Muse 2008 Los Carneros Tempranillo pairs perfectly with grilled chicken & peppers.
Somersville Cellars 2007 Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon pairs perfectly with lamb kabobs and cheeseburgers.
McKenna 2008 Central Coast Trilogy pairs perfectly with barbecued ribs.
Nouveau Muse 2009 California Rosato pairs perfectly with anything from the grill – meats, veggies & all the fixins!
EVO 2009 Clarksburg Albariño pairs perfectly with grilled fish and potato salad.
Frisch 2009 Gewürztraminer pairs perfectly with grilled corn on the cob or vegetable kabobs.
