Burgers and Beaujolais

beaujolais and burger

My litmus test when buying a new top or heels is “can I wear this with jeans?” I have a similar test for my red wines. “Will this taste good with a burger?” Yes, dear readers, I am quite the snooty sommelier! Last night, I hosted a WineTwits live tasting event: Burgers with a Side [...]
