WTN: Wines with hamburger

[James Roscoe]

There is nothing I like better than a simple meal of rare grilled hamburgers, deep fried potatoes, and corn. It's simple, easy and reminds me of my youth. To go with this we opened a Pisano Cabernet Sauvingnon from Rio de Los Pajaros in Uraguay. It said reserve on the bottle and it was a 2006 so it's now a year old. It was a perfectly acceptable cab at about ten bucks a bottle. The nose was pretty fruity and that carried through to the palate. It stood up well to the hamburgers and fries. I would probably buy it again at $8-$10. I wouldn't pay much more. Not horrible for a Wednesday night. Thanks to GaryB for encouraging the note.

Why does it remind you of your youth? Did you flip burgers back then in 1923?????

That was my favorite meal as a kid. My mother made it regularly every Saturday night after we sacrificed a cat.

Is that what Uruguayians pair with their cabs? Cat burger???

Glad to see you coming out of your shell! The wine sounds like it would have paired up well with this evening's Quiznos prime rib sandwich.

Perfect pairing. See you in chat?
