labor day is next weekend and many of us will be grilling up hot dogs, bratwurst, and other traditional picnic fare that is difficult to pair with wine. In a recent article, Washington Post columnists, Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg offer suggestions on what to serve with "dinner in a long bun." Among their suggestions are an Alsatian Riesling with bratwurst, a Rioja with a chili dog, and Chianti with Italian Sausage.

Thanks very much for this posting! I always appreciate when I can hear of approved pairings from people who have tested them. The alsatian riesling with bratwurst and the rioja with chili dog seem like the meals I'll be interested in having through out the day.
