My favorite summer drink and food pairing is an Old Mission Peninsula riesling enjoyed with a Vanilla Latte flavored cupcake from Ann Arbor’s Cupcake Station! I would love to win tickets!
An excellent pairing is L Mawby wine, Sex, with just about any appetizer, especially stuffed mushrooms. I would love to win tickets so that I have an putting to look forward to.
That’s easy! My new favorite summer pairing is my husband’s home brew clone of the Sierra Navada Pale Ale (he made it to celebrate our new niece) and my homemade fire roasted artichoke tomato pizza! I’d love to surprise him with tickets! He’ll be tweeting his thumbs off:)
If you mean my favorite summer and drink pairing it would be: caipirinha and picanha… I know it’s Brazilian but I love that BBQ.
My favorite combo would be Starry Starry White from Karma Vineyards in SW MI along with the Lobster Bisque from Zoup!  It makes a great pairing!  Of course a lot could go with this delicious wine.  Do yourself a favor  – if you haven’t done the wine tours in SW MI, make a point to get over there!
My favorite Michigan summer drink and food pairing is: L. Mawby’s Jadore paired with some Chocolate covered strawberries. If it’s Hot out, we have to eat them fast! Hope to WIN tickets to this Fabulous event!Â
I love my father in laws home made peach apricot wine…it goes great with all our outdoor bbq food!
My favorite Michigan summer drink and food pairing is The Round Barn Winery’s DiVine Bourbon & diet coke paired with a delicious bratwurst w/brown spicy mustard.Â
A Founder’s Red Rye and a grilled burger. Doesn’t get any better than that
My favorite summer drink is braganini reserve 2011 late harvest vidal blanc and my homemade alfredo bowtie pasta. Â
In the summer I like to keep it simple. Love to pair up a great Michigan white wine like Blue Water Winery and Vineyard’s wonderful 2010Â Chardonnay with a fresh salad make with all fresh Michigan garden greens, strawberries and chunks of Pinconning Baby Swiss cheese. Yum! And I would love to go to The Garden Party and I know my husband would be thrilled too!
Bells Oberon, mmmm as far as food I would say either a burger at the south lyon hotel, a calzone from aubreys, or something amazing and italian from Mario’s in Detroit 🙂
For my husbands annual Summer Solstice Birthday Party, I make a Michigan “Sloppy Pop! Punch” – Faygo Red Pop with Red Fish Hard Luck Candy Vodka. I used to make it with unflavored vodka until I discovered the Hard Luck Candy… deeee-licous! I plan on trying it in two flavors this year, maybe testing out the Creamsicle flavor with a Faygo Cream soda.
As far as munchies, you can’t go wrong with a bag of Better Made’s!
Shorts “controversial ale” f.k.a hang’n Frank paired with homemade jalipino hamburgers
Probably a Founder’s Centennial with a grass-fed sirloin steak from Plum Market that I’ve just grilled up myself. Mmm….. Guess I know what I’m eating this weekend. :]
A Hard Luck Rootbeer float. Food and drink in one.
