The grill is fired up, the cheeseburgers are ready, and it’s hot outside. If you’re craving a red wine but want to beat the summer heat, I’ve got the perfect backyard hack for you: Chill your red!
In this video, I’m breaking down my go-to backyard cheeseburger recipe—classic 80/20 ground chuck, American cheese, and brioche buns—and pairing it with an incredible, slightly chilled French red.
🍷 WINE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO:
Les Vins de la Madone “Les Rougeots du Clos” (IGP Urfé, Loire Valley, France).
This is a unique, organic/biodynamic wine made from old-school Gamay varietals grown on high-altitude volcanic soils. It has beautiful dark berry flavors, vibrant acidity, and a touch of stony minerality. Giving it a quick chill makes it incredibly refreshing and the absolute perfect match for a juicy burger.
Whether you’re pouring a volcanic Gamay like this, a Valpolicella, or a fresh Tempranillo, don’t be afraid to put a little chill on your red this summer.
