I attended my first cookout of the year yesterday, on Memorial Day, natch. While the food was amazing (I'm still full), there wasn't a wine bottle in sight. Instead my choices were standard BBQ beverage staples: ice-cold beer (Corona, Bass & Coors Light), Kool-aid for the kids, more beer for the extra-thirsty, and soda (Coke, etc.). <br /><br />I'd love to see wine served at my next cookout. And to ensure it will I'm going to remember Z.E.S.T. when shopping beforehand.<br /><br />If I may, I'd also recommend that cookout fans try an Austrian Gruner Veltliner with their grilled meats, veggies, and salads. It's refreshing and extremely easy to pair with a variety of foods. <br /><br />Great article, Deb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
