Bomb-Ass Homemade Sriracha

I’ve been making this sriracha all summer, and it is so, so delicious! It’s great on eggs, Thai and Asian dishes - really anything! You could even mix it with mayo to create your own sriracha mayo for sandwiches and burgers. Recipe by Jet Tila from 101 Asian Dishes You Need to Cook Before You Die.

Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Dip

I’ve been making this dip for years. It’s so easy and whips up in 15 minutes. You can easily add meat to it for added protein, and it pairs great with wine and beer. Perfect for game day and parties!

Ron’s Cocktail Sauce

My brother-in-law recently brought back fresh Dungeness crab from Astoria, OR. Naturally, we enjoyed it with the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, and Ron (my husband) made a delicious cocktail sauce. I highly recommend this pairing!
