Grill & Chill; Our Favorite Memorial Day Wine and Grilled Food Pairings

Break out some ice-cold Butter Chardonnay and sip on these grilled food and wine pairings for a BUTTER twist on your Memorial Day weekend:

Grilled Peaches + Butter Chardonnay

What’s better than fresh, hot-off-the-grill peaches? Well, grilled peaches and a glass of ice-cold Butter, obviously! If you’ve never tried grilling peaches on a warm summer night, you need to try it ASAP. Everything's better with a little Butter!

The unexpected, smoky flavors of the grilled peach blend perfectly with Butter’s creami-licious hints of lemon and vanilla–a true match made in wine heaven. Simply put, this is the grill and wine combo you will be craving every time you spot a peach.

Sausages + Butter Bubbles

For those opting for grilled sausages on the coals this summer, Butter Bubbles is the perfect drink choice. 

The bright touches of Butter Bubbles will be a double delight next to the saltiness of the sausage (no matter which kind you’re using!) so don’t be shy–#Butter it up! Impress your grill-out guests and make sure to stock up on plenty of Butter Bubbles for all your grilling needs this Memorial day weekend. We’ll help you be the hostess with the mostess ;)

Grilled Corn with Basil Butter + ButterCans

We all know that ButterCans and corn on the cob are Memorial day weekend staples, but have you ever tried them together??

This grilled corn recipe kicks things up a few notches. Grill the corn to bring out its smoky-charred sweetness, then slather the cobs in a bright basil butter. The creaminess of Butter paired with the basil butter on the corn will leave you begging for more this summer. 

Our favorite part? They’re both deliciously hand-held for easy grab-and-go refreshment. 

Grilled Steak and Toast Sparkling 

A delicious Cab might be your default when it comes to a good cut of beef, but don't discount the deliciousness that bubbles can bring to the table. One of our favorite grill and wine pairings is something a little expected; red meat and ice cold Toast Sparkling! 

The texture from the bubbles and bright tropical notes cut through the richness of the steak and refreshes the palate in between every bite. Click here for 50 easy grilled steak recipes, and don’t forget to stock up on the sparkling! 

Don’t Let the Summer Fun Run Out!

Whether you're firing up the grill for steaks, veggies, or a ripe peach, we have something for everyone. Several amazing, easy-drinking wines to pair with them all summer long.

You’re tending the grill, hanging with besties, dancing along to this Summer JaMs playlist on Spotify… the very last thing you need to be worried about is the Butter running out. We’ve got the Butter covered, who’s on grill duty? Get all of the Butter you’ll need for your grill-outs delivered straight to your door with Drizly, InstaCart, and Amazon Fresh!

Butter Get Picnicing—Tips 4 U

Hooray! July is #NationalPicnicMonth and we’re ready for some fun (and Butter) in the sun! Grab your gingham, govinos and head to greener pastures for the chic-est summer wine-sippin’ picnic you ever did see!

Here’s how to have a Butter picnic…

• Stock up on #SummerSippers! No great picnic started with a salad, so get your Butter Chardonnay, Toast Sparkling and Sugar Sweet White delivered pre-chilled right to your door, or simply pick them up from your nearest wine aisle on the way! Just pop your zip code into our WineFinder to find your closest store. 

• Turn up the JaMs! Once you’ve laid out your blanket and cracked open your first ice-cold ButterCan, you’re just a button click away from getting the alfresco fiesta officially started!  Grab that wireless speaker and press play on our "Summer Festival JaMs poured by JaM Cellars" playlist on iHeart Radio. It’s full of our fav festival hits and freshly updated with the 2021 lineup for Ohana and BottleRock!

• Easy-peasy and eco-friendly! Save the mess and waste by pre-packing individual servings cup-o-charcuterie, pre-made sandwiches, and some jam-jar salads. In some eco-friendly picnic-ware. Remember to pack out what you bring in! ButterCans and wine bottles are ready to recycle! #Picnicgoals achieved.

• Friendly Fun! Whether you’re at the park, beach, or back-yarding it, the ultimate day party picnic isn’t complete without a little friendly competition with your besties. We’re talking larger-than-life Connect 4, or go ahead and pack your bocce set! OR, for the ultimate DIY repurposing just stack up your used ButterCans for Butter Bowling! Pass me another ButterCan, please!

• Stay cold, ice-cold! July = sizzling summer temps! Keep it cool with handheld misters and a cooler full of ice (on wheels!). The last person to show is responsible for grabbing an extra bag of ice on the way over (it’s never too much!). Not only will your Butter, Toast Sparkling and Sugar Sweet White stay chilled, you can also use it to dip in your own personal cooling towel to stay hella chill.

And as simple as that you’ve got yourself the most perfectly executed #JaMCellars sippin’ picnic plan all #NationalPicnicMonth long! Snap some pics for the ‘gram and sip, smile and share! @JaMCellars #JaMCellars

 

Memorial Moments Worth Remembering...Cheers To That!

True Start to Summer

Memorial Weekend marks the true start to Summer, and we are ready. Break out some ice-cold Butter Chardonnay and raise a glass to freedom, friendship, and fun! Sip on these suggestions for a new-norm Memorial weekend:

Start Out Outside

With a 3-day weekend ahead of you, take Saturday on a long hike to soak in all that summer sunshine (SPF 50 please!). Head off the beaten path and be socially distant with a trail map like AllTrails. Add a few ButterCans in your pack to enjoy the accomplishment, and the view, at the peak.

Toast the Weekend

Memorial Day vibes peak Sunday at 5pm PDT as we tune in to the virtual Memorial Day Concert at Home on PBS! We’re feeling patriotic already! Find your comfy spot, relish the time to relax and sip Toast Sparkling while you watch.

Sip Poolside

If you haven’t ordered your adult kiddie pool yet, what are you waiting for? Grab a straw, a cute floatie and your Butter bikini…it’s time to soak up some Vitamin D and totally chill. Don’t have a pool boy to bring your Butter? No stress! Drizly is at your service with delivery in less than 60 minutes.

Fire Up The BBQ

The signature scent of Memorial Day is definitely BBQ and JaM Cab. So, crack open that red and enjoy cooking in the great outdoors…did someone say ribs? For that perfect snack while you sip, try this Patriotic Snack Mix or refreshing wine popsicles to keep you so cool.

Now that you’re feeling tan, fit, and well-fed, you’ll need to replenish your supplies with plenty more Butter Chardonnay where that came from! Call on the wine fairies to deliver straight to your door with Drizly, InstaCart, or the JaMStore.

Three cheers for kicking off red, white and rosé season!
