Fall Recipe Pairings

Roasted Red Pepper & Bacon Burgers

Chancing Fate, BR Barbera, BR Syrah, Cold Hearted

Burgers are summer, and a burger with red pepper relish pairs perfectly with some August wines. The relish’s tangy, sweet, and savory flavors add sweetness and depth to the burger, while pairing with the wine’s natural fruit flavors and acidity. Bacon adds some salt and smoky flavors to create a delicious version of a summer classic!

Ingredients:

  • Burger patties
  • 1 pound bacon, cooked
  • Sliced American or cheddar cheese
  • Pickles (optional)
  • Red pepper relish

Red Pepper Relish

  • 3 cups sweet red bell peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions:

  1. 1
    Make the red pepper relish. Put all ingredients into a medium pot. Heat on the stove over medium heat. Stir until the sugar melts. Let the mix come to a gentle boil and let simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, until the liquid is gone. Let relish cool. You can store the relish in your fridge for up to two weeks. Works like a sweet and sour sauce!
  2. 2
    Cook the burger on the grill according to your preference of doneness. On the bun, build your burger! Add the burger, cheese, pickles, bacon, and red pepper relish to your liking. Enjoy!

Bottle Switches

One of the greatest benefits of Wine Club is access to new release and exclusive wines each quarter. Nancie and the team work incredibly hard to create exciting wines that are designed to engage and expand your palate. It is our hope that when you try something new, you learn more about wine and find new favorites! We understand that sometimes a wine may not be a new favorite. Therefore, in our continued desire to offer you the best, you may choose to exchange ALL of your preselected wines each quarter.

When it comes to alcohol, there are laws that determine how we can make this happen for you. Here is what you need to know:

  • This courtesy is only available on wines picked up in the tasting room. We ask that you try the wines first before making the decision to switch.
  • You may exchange your bottles for any bottle of your choosing. Money cannot be refunded, so we encourage you to pick a wine at a similar price point. This is a one-for-one bottle exchange. Please note that you cannot exchange two lesser priced bottles for your switch. You may choose a wine valued greater than your preselected wine, with the charge of the remaining balance happening at the time of the exchange. Wine Club perks are the most generous and we know you agree!
