It's a wet one out there today, but Craig and I still plan to have our homemade blue cheese burgers for supper. Each summer we make a large batch of burgers and freeze them so we have them ready when we are craving BBQ burgers.
Blue cheese is definitely an acquired taste but when added to our homemade burgers the taste is subtle and not overpowering. Grilled to perfection these burgers make the perfect summer meal and serve well with a nice glass of Malbec.
Malbec is a food friendly wine, which pairs perfectly with barbecued meats and sausage. With its rich and spicy personality, Malbec goes great with beef, chicken or pork as well as spicy dishes and dry cheeses. We hope you enjoy this summer meal as much as we do!
