Beef-and-Lamb Burgers with Cheddar and Caper Remoulade Paired with 7 Deadly Zins
November 19, 2010
I’m a big fan of meals that are easy, inexpensive and tasty; but who isn’t?
This week I am featuring the Michael David Winery, and what better wine to pair with their Seven Deadly Zins than a burger? Recommended retail on the Seven Deadly Zins Zinfandel is around $14, making it VERY recession friendly.
I selected a recipe for Beef-and-Lamb Burgers with Cheddar and Caper Remoulade, a fairly simple but extremely tasty recipe. I was intrigued by the remoulade which calls for cornichons, capers, whole-grain mustard, parsley and mayo. Kind of an interesting combination I thought. Not something I have ever put on a burger before!
So I Come Home and This is What I am Greeted With!!!

Petite Petit – As It Turns Out, Not So Petite!
November 17, 2010
Grapes
A blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot (hence the name, obviously).
Facts
The Petite Petite wine is a blend of the 2 grapes Petite Sirah and Petite Verdot. It isn’t considered “the norm” to blend these two grapes in this way, but the result it quite impressive!
Petite Sirah originally comes from France’s Rhône region where it is referred to by the synonyms of Durif or Petite Syrah, however in California the grape is mainly called Petite Sirah.
