Beautiful with Beef
Chateau Buena Vista Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: Velvety and supple, this wine is everything you’d expect of a classic Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon. Made by a long-established producer located locally in Sonoma, it’s an ideal pairing with a tender steak and good company. Grab yourself a bottle (or two) and see if you agree! (You will!)
Lovely with Lamb
Bravium Pinot Noir: Many wines can be enjoyed alongside lamb, but pinot noir is easily one of the best. The wine’s natural acidity helps cut through the bold, pastoral flavor of the lamb, and if the lamb is done on the BBQ, the berry and cola notes in the wine contribute a nice complement to the added smokiness from the grill.
Superb with Seafood
Clay Shannon Sauvignon Blanc: Sauvignon blanc is a great choice for most seafood thanks to its complementary lemon and citrus flavors. This version comes from Clear Lake, California, one of the best areas in the country for this varietal, and the producer goes the extra mile with extremely sustainable and organic farming.
Heavenly with Heat
August Kesseler “R” Riesling: No matter the meat, Riesling is one of the most versatile wines for pairing with food, especially with spicy eats. The light sweetness is a beautiful counterbalance to any spicy heat, and the natural acidity helps refresh your palate after each sip. Bonus: This one is an incredible value for this level of Riesling!
