California Farm Wagyu Beef with Zinfandel Wine
Nouveau Beaujolais does not make it to rural California. We substitute, pair an aged, local red wine that has hints of pepper, with a gourmet beef burger without pepper. We use mace, the outer skin of nutmegs, to flavor meat, instead of pepper. It is a mild spice that brings out flavors rather than overpowering them. Perfect for Wagyu beef with sage, garlic, salt and mace herbs.
Birthday party dinner. 4 dinners of Juicy panfried gourmet burgers with fresh baked sourdough bread and french fries, goes very well with 10 glasses of robust dark Zinfandel red wine in a special Magnum bottle, saved for years.
