The three-day weekend is the opportunity to go all out on the grill, pairing some of your favorite types and cuts of meat with late summer's abundance of tomatoes, peppers and stone fruits. And, if you're anything like us, you're a better (and happier) cook when you can brandish grilling tongs with one hand and wrap the other around a glass of juicy, supple single-vineyard wine. Preferably one with a long, mouth-filling finish.
Over the years our Executive Chef Trevor Eliason has tested and perfected a number of grilling recipes, from pork to lamb to every possible cut of beef available. We chose these three for their seasonal focus, and because they pair so beautifully with one (or more!) of our Single-Vineyard Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet selections.
Grilled Pork Chop with Pluot, Arugula and Almond-Goat Cheese Salad
Pair with, Nickel & Nickel Harris Vineyard Merlot, Oakville, Napa Valley
Grilled Flank Steak with Roasted Red and Yellow Pepper Couscous Salad
Pair with, Nickel & Nickel Darien Vineyard Syrah, Russian River Valley
Rosemary-Scented Lamb Chops with Lemon Peel and Thyme
Pair with, Nickel & Nickel Sori Bricco Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley
Although our focus at Nickel & Nickel is predominantly on Single-Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from acclaimed Napa Valley regions, including Oakville, Rutherford, Diamond Mountain, Stags Leap District and more, over the years we have added a small collection of Single-Vineyard Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay to our portfolio. They are each distinct expressions of the vineyards in which they're grown, and there isn't one of them we wouldn't take pleasure in pulling the cork on this holiday weekend. After all, few things bring people together quite like wine and food.
We wish you all a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!

We're continuing the 40th anniversary celebration of Far Niente's first (and best) Napa Valley Chardonnay with a spring food and wine pairing that's at once effortless and elegant.
As multifaceted as it is iconic, the 2019 Far Niente Estate Bottled Chardonnay's citrus-honeysuckle perfume, silky fruit flavors, warm vanilla and bright finish elevate an array of occasions. Pair this versatile Napa Valley Chardonnay with spring gardens, panoramic views, long lunches, golden sunsets and the seafood and white wine linguine recipe below. This elegant food and wine menu takes less than half an hour to prepare; it's filled with flavor and fragrance; and it's currently one of our top seafood and Chardonnay pairing picks.
