Red, White & Blue Burger with Big Bang!!
Continue celebrating with this wonderful recipe throughout the month of July.
2018 Big Bang Pairing
BIG BANG, A robust blend that explodes with flavor, enhances the cool earthiness of Blue Cheese dressing. Blue cheese dressing is made with sour cream and mayonnaise, thin with milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Use a high quality ground beef like Wagyu or Kobe. Grill to your desired degree of doneness. Add a slice of Pepper Jack cheese to melt over the burger.
Winemaker Tasting Notes:
This newest release of Big Bang is a fruit bomb, coating the glass with deep dusty crimson colors. The nose is dry black cherry, ripe plums, black raspberry preserves, brown sugar, sweet balsamic glaze, and a plethora of baking spices. The palate is seductively smooth with flavors of cranberry, sugar plums and stewed blackberry. The finish is long and strong with spice notes of anise, cinnamon, clove, wet tobacco and black pepper.
Varietal: 67% 2016 Zinfandel / 33% 2017 Petite Syrah
DIY Home Gourmet Recipe
Bacon Jam
1 lb. thick cut bacon, 2 tbsp. brown sugar, 2 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar glaze, 2 tbsp. maple syrup, crushed red pepper to taste. Fry bacon until crisp. Drain drippings, reserve 2 tbsp. Combine other ingredients off the heat, crumble bacon into small bits and combine. Bacon Jam should be syrupy.
Build your Burger
starting with a brioche bun. Lettuce below helps to keep the bun from getting soggy. Layer-up, topping with Bacon Jam and Blue Cheese Dressing.
Happy 4th!
The Red, White and Blue Burger is served with blue corn tortilla chips and salsa roja and of course, a glass of our 2018 Big Bang ! Celebrate !
Around the Vineyard
Viognier Grapes
Winemaker Tasting Notes:
Golden yellow with a hint of soft green grass. Absolutely stunning nose: ripe mango, white peach, nectarine and apricots that lead to floral notes of orange blossoms and jasmine, with a touch of graphite. Palate is soft and round with texture of tropical fruit puree, subtle acidity mid-palate before finish of citrus peels and stone fruit.
