Every once in a while my BFF (Bitchin’ in the Kitchen) gives me a wine pairing challenge. She cooks the amazing food. I pick the wine. While celebrating a bank holiday weekend in the US she gave me a challenge…. Pair a Bison burger.
The winning pairing was the 2016 Turley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.

📝Certified organic, Napa Valley single vineyard, pure Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines are of 26 years old and farmed organically. Only indigenous yeasts are used in the fermentation. Value for money is amazing on this wine. I suggest several hours of decanting before serving. It gets better as it opens and is the perfect wine to drink over a few days!
