Another interesting night and wine dinner at the Buzz in Boise. And just in time for the summer season – Grilled foods and selecting the right wine to go with the food. Cristi also let everyone know that they are putting a a beer tap system for local beers and she wants our suggestions. My suggestion is (1) Cloud 9 Nano Brewery in the Albertson’s Shopping Center on State Street and (2) 10 Barrel Brewery in downtown Boise. Here are some photos from tonight’s dinner and my wine ratings. A perfect score is [20]. Enjoy and Cheers!

Wines prior to dinner. I did not particularly like the white one [11] and the red was just a little better [12]. I have had much better wines from both these wineries.
The best wine of the night was this one. I scored it a perfect [20]. Full bodied and went extremely well with the beef and chicken skewers and the corn on the cob. 2011 If You See Kay
Pulled Pork Sliders
2010 Renwood Clarion
a blend of Syrah and Zin [19]
Peggy made the sauce for these and it was good. Almost a Carolina style with a hint of vinegar.
Grilled Romaine Salad
2012 Basal Cellars Estate Semillion [17]
Roasted Vegetable Soup
2009 MontGras Antu Ninquen Syrah [18]
This wine went very well with the soup. A good paring.
