Binny's Blog

This week the Women of Binny’s got together to explore the art of wine and food pairing. Together we prepped, cooked, and paired Spanish tapas with Spanish wines. We discussed the fundamentals of food and wine pairing and learned essential cooking skills and knife techniques. Keep reading to learn more about our pairings and recipes you can try at home!

Normally the Demo Kitchen cooks seasonally, but there was no resisting a pairing of lamb and the newest vintage of Penfolds' Bin 389.

Two kinds of pork, gooey cheese, mustard, and pickles, all pressed between a crusty loaf of bread. The Cuban Sandwich is a classic for a reason.

Binny's Summer of GOOD Frozen Cocktails rolls on with this recipe for the classic Cuban Cocktail, the El Floridita Daiquiri.

St. Louis BBQ might not be as traditional as other styles, but this browned and braised pork steak still gets tender and smokey.

Try this icy riff on the classic Cuban cocktail, the Mojito. It's cool and refreshing, perfectly for battling July's stick heat.

The jibarito is a Chicago classic. Make your own riff on this Puerto Rican-style steak sandwich that replaces bread with fried plantains.

We like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. Check out this recipe for a frozen piña colada made with fresh chunks of pineapple.

Binny’s Demo Kitchen perfectly pairs Grilled Tequila-Lime Trout and Watermelon Salsa with Mulderbosch sauvignon blanc from South Africa. Berkley’s Trumer Pils is the call when it comes to beer or try it with a watermelon cocktail from our resident mixologist.

Binny's Home Bartender leans into watermelon season with recipes for Watermelon Agua Fresca, Frozen Watermelon Margarita, Watermelon Rosé Spritzer and a Watermelon Cooler.
