Kabobs
  1.  Seasonal Grilled Vegetable Skewers

Nothing says summer like colorful skewers fresh off the grill. Use seasonal produce like zucchini, bell peppers, red onions, and cherry tomatoes. We love this recipe from All Recipes for inspiration—it’s simple, healthy, and vibrant.

Pair it with: 2024 Estate Rosé of Syrah
Our Rosé of Syrah is bright, dry, and refreshing—the ultimate summer sipper. Its crisp acidity and subtle red fruit flavors make it the perfect match for grilled vegetables. Serve it chilled on a sunny afternoon.

Grilling steaks

2. Ribeye Steak

Thick-cut, juicy ribeye with a nice sear? Yes, please. A hearty cut like this needs a wine that can stand up to its richness and bold flavors. Not sure how to perfect your steak? Here’s a great guide to grilling ribeye.

Pair it with: 2021 Estate Petite Sirah
Our Petite Sirah brings serious structure with deep tannins and rich dark fruit. It’s bold enough to complement the fat and flavor of the steak, cutting through with balance and power.

Grilled burgers

3. Portobello Mushroom Burger

Looking for a satisfying meat-free option? Grilled Portobello mushrooms in a savory marinade deliver serious umami. Stack them on a bun with all your favorite toppings for a burger everyone will love.

Pair it with: 2022 Estate Four Rows Select Cabernet Sauvignon
This bold Cabernet has earthy undertones that highlight the depth of the mushroom’s flavor. Its full body and smooth finish make it a knockout pairing for this vegetarian favorite.

Grilled sausages

4. Grilled Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions

Savory, spicy, and sizzling—grilled Italian sausage is a backyard BBQ classic. Toss in some sweet peppers and onions to round out the dish. We recommend this recipe for the perfect balance of heat and flavor.

Pair it with: 2022 Estate Ballfield Syrah
Our Ballfield Syrah shines with grilled meats, especially spicy sausages. Its bright red fruit and rich texture complement the fattiness of the sausage while enhancing the savory elements.
