Great pairings from Binny's Beverage Depot
Binny's suggestions for pairing with beef and burgers:
WineBodegas Arrocal -- A stunner from the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Woo% tempranillo, this wine has it all with dense black fruits & interesting complexities of cedar and spice; with a long, savory finish!
Craft beer:Founders Porter -- Big roasted malt flavors upfront. Deliciously appetizing roastiness gives way to smooth, sweet chocolate and a woody , peaty flavor. Finishes with a kiss of hop bitterness!• Check out these offering and more at the new Binny's in Arlington Heights69 W. Rand Road, (847) 870-9890
