Did you know that this Thursday, August 28th, is National Red Wine Day? Red wines come in an array of colors, from deep ruby red, like Syrah and Merlot, to subtle amber, like Pinot Noir and Port. And their palates vary just as much, from dry and bright to light and sweet. One of the more popular red varieties is the Cabernet Sauvignon, affectionately called the “King of Reds.” Due to the wine’s bold, complex flavor profile and distinctive mouthfeel. Cabernet Sauvignon’s origins are a complete accident, with the unintentional hybridization of Cabernet Franc grapes with Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the Bordeaux region of France. Let’s raise a glass and celebrate Red Wine Day with your favorite bottle. We have even more to celebrate! When you buy 6 bottles or more of wine, get 10% off the total when you buy 6 or more bottles of wine. So, pick up a bottle of your favorite red and maybe discover something new.

Did you know that August 18th is National Fajita Day? This day celebrates the delicious Tex-Mex dish typically made with seasoned grilled meat, onions, and peppers, all served on a warm tortilla. Fajitas originated in the early 1930s when Mexican vaqueros in Southwest Texas received skirt steak—a less expensive cut of beef—as part of their payment from ranchers. These vaqueros began cooking the meat over an open fire. The term “fajita” comes from the Spanish word “faja,” meaning skirt, as it refers to the skirt steak being cut into thin strips. Over time, the popularity of fajitas grew, particularly with the introduction of serving them on a sizzling hot skillet. What started as a simple dish of steak wrapped in corn or flour tortillas with onions, peppers, Pico de Gallo, and guacamole has now become a favorite in countless restaurants across the United States. If you’d prefer to enjoy sizzling fajitas at home, check out our collection of fajita recipes and start cooking!

Warm weather and hot, melty sandwiches go hand in hand. Celebrate National Panini Day on August 11th by enjoying this culinary delight. Whether you order it from a restaurant or make it at home, there’s no denying the panini’s deliciousness. A panini is a grilled sandwich made with non-sliced bread. It typically starts with Italian bread that contains a selection of cheeses, meats, vegetables, and sauces, all grilled or pressed to crispy, melty perfection. The precursor to the panini first appeared in a 16th-century Italian cookbook, but it didn’t gain significant popularity in Italy until the 1970s, with the rise of “paninoteche” sandwich shops in cities like Milan. About a decade later, paninis became very popular in the United States, thanks to trendy restaurants and cafes adding them to their menus. For all the Bay Area panini lovers out there, did you know that “panini” is the plural form of “panino,” which means “small bread” in Italian?

Raise a glass and toast to National IPA Day this Thursday, August 7th, by enjoying your favorite India Pale Ale (IPA). IPAs are known for being full-bodied, bold, and  bitter, and they typically have a higher alcohol by volume (ABV) compared to many other styles of beer. The history  of IPAs dates to the 18th century, when they were first brewed for English ships bound for India. The higher hop content allowed for better preservation during the long journey. Although the popularity of IPAs faded in England over time, they experienced a resurgence with American craft brewers in the late 20th century, leading to the diverse range of IPAs available today. If you love IPAs or would like to try one, join us at our San Carlos location on August 7th from 3 PM to 6 PM to sample San Carlos’ own Devils Canyon IPA.
