What’s better than a weekend – a Long Weekend! For me, a long weekend is a chance to try new recipes, eat some good food, and of course, drink some great wine. And that’s exactly what I did, and of course the grill was fired up!
I haven’t had a steak in a while, so that was one of my choices for the grill. This is one of my favorite wines to go with steak.
It’s Angove McLaren Vale Shiraz from Australia. This one is about $25.00 at the NLC and I love this wine. It’s what Australian Shiraz is all about. Aged for about 16 months in oak barrels before release, I know it will go well with all grilled food… but I love it with steak.
If that’s a little too pricey for you, this is another great McLaren Vale Shiraz from Australia that I really like. De Bortoli McLaren Vale Shiraz is a great pick, and under $20 at the NLC.
Enjoyed a couple of great Malbecs from Argentina, including a Santa Julia Reserva Malbecs for about $15. Great reasonably priced wine.
This wine is big and bold tasting, and boy, there’s nothing like a Malbec from the Mendoza region of Argentina. I had this wine with a new recipe of chili and lime chicken with roasted potatoes and it was a great combination.
What does the long weekend mean for you? Food? Wine? I look forward to hearing from you.
