Was not planning on having steak tonight, but it was either steak or calf’s liver—and for the record, I make a mean liver and mash. Funny thing, this lone 2x pack was mixed with the liver (just about the only thing left, and there were many). Maybe someone stashed it to come back since there is a 2 pack limit on some meats. Whatever the case: slow-smoked steak and this delicious 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (mature yet fresh & savory—the type of Cab I enjoy with a meal) from Brookdale Vineyards is what’s for dinner.

Baby back ribs for dinner tonight. I slow sipped a flute or two of Blanc de Blancs while cooking, and reaching for a Zinfandel to complete the meal. Cheers! 🥂🍷😋 #YUM #GMGNation #babybackribs #foodporn #BBQ #wine #smokedribs #winelover https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ4eyozrEku/?utm_medium=tumblr

My team didn’t make it into the post-season, but we're still eating like champs for wild card weekend. I always cook with wine—that’s Brut Rosé in my flute. These are ready to come off.

I’m a thigh guy—at least for today. While the meat cooks, I’m getting my “apple-a-day,” a good dose of sunshine, and looking forward to cheering #GoPats tonight.

Chicken breast glazed in a creamy and tangy Alabama White Sauce—smoked to a splendid golden brown color. Served alongside macaroni salad and fried green tomatoes (back by popular demand).

Lucky me! I got the last rack at the store yesterday, so it’s an apple-wood smoked baby-backs and Henschke Henry's Seven [delicious wine] kind of night.

Here ending the evening on a ‘High Note’… smoked cheddar & bacon burgers washed down with a generous splash of Malbec. Not pictured: garlic sautéed spinach that Popeye would absolutely love.

It’s a Bordeaux and steak (smoked with a black oak, American hickory, and a hint of Texas mesquite pellet blend) kind of night. Cheers! #GMGNation #winelover #foodporn #Bordeaux #wine #steak #foodlover #pelletgrill #dinner https://www.instagram.com/p/B9KyGkmHja8/?igshid=9wxq55ymm0xg
