Believe it or not, you can pair a juicy burger with a Riesling! My Chesapeake Baja Burger calls for caramelized jalapenos, avocado, jumbo lump crab meat and cilantro lime mayo on top of an 8 oz burger. The Riesling cools off the heat of the peppers, the tropical and peach flavors in the wine add harmony to the avocado and cilantro while the bright citrus notes provide a beautiful backdrop for the crab meat and make the lime notes pop!
Grab your favorite off-dry Riesling or give one of these budget-friendly wines a try!
