We are starting a new series of awesome ideas for you winos for entertaining your guests, or just yourself and your cat. Whichever you prefer. ;)
Each week we will post an authentic recipe that will either pair well with our award winning wines or actually include them in the food itself.
Then we will give you a fun and unique way to entertain your posse to woo them with your snazzy skills as wino host of the year!
First up is by our own tasting room manager Rick Riva!
Menu: BBQ Beef Brisket - Coleslaw - Zin Brownies - Orange Chard Slices
Entertainment: Blending Party at Home!
BBQ Beef Brisket-
Get a large flat brisket and put it fat side up in a large metal rectangle cake pan or casserole dish. Rub the fat side up with 2 packets of dry Lipton Onion soup mix. Loosely cover it with foil and Bake for 8 hours at 200 degrees. Remove the foil and bake for one more hour. Then Scrape off the fat and mix, shred by hand and mix with your favorite BBQ sauce. Add your favorite coleslaw and layer with a gourmet bun for an awesome sandwich!!
PAIR WITH BEN HOGAN SYRAH
Light and delicious side are Orange Chard Slices-
Mix an orange jello mix with our BEN HOGAN CHARDONNAY instead of the water and pour into hollowed out half orange peels (like little cups). Harden in the fridge and then slice them up for tasting!
Zin Brownies-
Bake Brownies for dessert with your favorite brownie mix but add our BEN HOGAN ZINFANDEL instead of the water and taste heaven when they come out!!
Blending Party-
Take 5 of your favorite VERIS CELLARS WINES and get some couples together as partners. Then have them blend and taste their concoctions to make their perfect "blend" to pour in an unmarked carafe. The host then takes the carafes and labels them in secret!!!
Each team then tastes all of the different ones and then blind votes on the best one!! Give a prize to the winner!!
Good times. And your cat will love it ;) ha ha
