Pair with Your Next BBQ Dinner
As Summer is starting and the weather is warming up, it’s time to uncover your grill and get cookin’! This dinner idea is a great pairing with Renegade with aromas of toasty oak, allspice, and dark fruits. The mouth filling flavors of peppery spice, woodsmoke, and fresh wildberry pair perfectly with our Santa Maria-style barbecue dinner.
