BBQ & Wine: The Perfect Summer Match! 🍷

Tue, Aug 19, 2025 at 17:38

Dear food and wine lovers, Summer is here, and with it comes the irresistible urge to fire up the BBQ! But did you know that the secret to a successful barbecue isn't just in perfectly grilled meat? It's also about choosing the right wine to elevate your grilled delights!

Here are our quirky yet expert tips for food and wine pairings that will set your gathering ablaze (pun intended 😉):

🥩 For grilled red meats:

Our top pick: A full-bodied Saint-Julien, like Château Gloria. Its dark fruit notes and silky tannins are perfect with a nice cut of beef!
Friendly tip: Serve slightly chilled (16-17°C) for maximum enjoyment under the sun.

🍗 For marinated poultry:

Dare to try a white Burgundy! Its freshness and buttery aromas will enhance your herb-grilled chicken.
Pro tip: Keep a bottle chilled for the brave cooks manning the grill!

🐟 For fish and seafood:

Surprise your guests with a Provence rosé! Fresh and fruity, it's perfect with grilled prawns.
Fun fact: Rosé isn't just for poolside sipping - it's a fantastic companion for light grilled dishes!

👨‍🍳 Chef's Advice: Prepare a special wine cooler with different temperatures:

Rosés and whites: 8-10°C
Light reds: 14-16°C
Structured reds: 16-18°C

🎯 Fun suggestion: Organize a blind tasting during your BBQ! Who can guess which wine pairs with each dish?
