Then it’s all about Grilling with Beer, a book by my guest Lucy Saunders. Wheather you drink one while grilling, use one in the marinade or sauce, or enjoy a few with the finished product, grilling and beer go together. This book has recipes for bastes, BBQ suaces, mops, marinades & more, all made with craft beer.
Lucy edits the award-winning website, beercook.com and thinks of beer as food. We first met at the Great American Beer Festival in 2007 and shortly after she was a guest with one of her other books; Cooking With Beer.

“Wine of the Week” from from Napa producer John Buehler; 2007 Napa Zinfandel 🙂
The grapes we choose for our 2006 Buehler Vineyards Napa Valley Zinfandel are a mix of those off our estate vineyards and grapes from other select Napa Valley high quality, low-yielding vineyards. Dry-farmed for over a decade, our 4.5 acre estate block consists of mature thirty-six year old vines which typically give us around 3.0 tons/acre of beautiful hillside zinfandel fruit. Interspersed among the head-trained vines are a handful of Petite Sirah vines representing perhaps 5% of the total vines in this block. A traditional field companion to Zinfandel in pre-prohibition California vineyards, Petite Sirah contributes pepper, color, and tannin structure to the wine.
