Fondue on the grill? Why yes, it can be done, and would be pretty epic for Valentine's Day. Did you notice that cheese pull?!?!?! vindulge.com/cheese-fondue/

Thanks so much :)
This came from the Fire+Wine book, but my hubby has perfected his grilling technique over many years! I know he uses indirect heat, so it is considered smoking. The Fire+Wine authors are pros on the subject, I highly recommend the book, it’s very informative, not just recipes.

Grilled Jalapeño Poppers stuffed with Brie, Cherry Jam, and wrapped in Prosciutto are a decadent treat! #ad It’s as if the perfect cheese and charcuterie plate and jalapeños got together to create the ultimate summer appetizer. @Safeway #PrimoTaglio lnk2.io/whnRppy

Looks perfect to me :) ps, we're making our kids boxed mac and cheese tonight while we eat tri tip (their last day of school request!) ;) #LegendaryZinVineyards
#grillingwithZin My grilling recipe "Sous Vide BBQ Porterhouse" is not meant to be extravagant. Our household of two elementary school children and two full-time working parents means that you have to cook quick and creative. #legendaryzinvineyards

This @ArmidaWinery 2017 Maple Vineyard Zin is absolutely delightful! And so seamless with grilled tri tip! #LegendaryZinVineyards #GrillingWithZin

@plsthepalate, please check out the @ZAP link on Growing a Legend. Very good and with good guys in it. #LegendaryZinVineyards
Would love to learn more about Zin in Napa! How old are the vines? how does it compare to areas better known for Zin like Dry Creek? #legendaryzinvineyards

Agree!
Replying to @BialeVineyards
One of my favorite aspects about #Zinfandel ... is how there are amazing people who had the forethought to keep, protect, and nurture these old vines! 💚#LegendaryZinVineyards @TheZinfandelOrg
Grilled foods work so well with Zin because Zin is a variety that does not over power food but rather compliments it. #GillingwithZin #LegendaryZinVineyards
What are you prepping for the grill tonight? @AmyCGross is pairing #Zinfandel with smoked chicken thighs. Yummy #legendaryZinVineyards #grillingwithZin
