Rosé and grilled turkey burger

Take grilled fish steak to the next level
When ordering grilled fish steak, experts suggest pairing it with a glass of Prosecco, a popular sparkling wine.
Go for Pinot Noir with pork
To elevate your pork experience, we recommend some Pinot Noir to go with your dish. This pairing works especially well because this red wine highlights the richer flavours of the meat.
Interesting facts about Barbeque
A killer pairing
One should always compliment their food with a drink that doesn't take away from the meal. If it’s steak you’re eating, we recommend pairing it with a tea. The tannin-rich flavors of the tea won’t detract from the flavors of your steak.
