As the weather heats up and days get longer, there is nothing quite like a backyard BBQ to savor the flavors of the summer. And, the best way to elevate any BBQ is with the delicious selection of farm fresh wines from Keel Farms.

Keel and Curley wine pairs perfectly with many of your favorite BBQ foods, and is sure to impress you and your guests. Read on for inspiration and find the nearest location to buy local Florida wine from Keel and Curley for your next backyard cookout!

Watermelon Blush

Our Watermelon Blush wine is the perfect companion to the hot Florida sun. With a base of white merlot grapes, watermelon lovers can enjoy a new way to savor this delicious, locally-grown fruit. And, it’ll keep you refreshed and cool all day long!

When buying local Florida wine for your BBQ, be sure to consider the types of foods you’ll be serving up. If your favorite BBQ foods include lighter fares, such as grilled chicken or grilled vegetable skewers, consider this crisp and sweet wine. Keel and Curley Winery’s Watermelon Blush can be found while supplies last online and in the Keel Farms Tasting Room.

Sangria

If steak and hamburgers are more your speed, Keel and Curley Sangria is the perfect pairing for heavier meats. This blend of our best red wines includes plenty of tropical fruits, such as tangerines, peaches, pineapples, and strawberries. There’s nothing like a sip of sweet sangria during your summer BBQ!

Another top option for pairing with Keel and Curley Sangria is a tapas platter. Some great tapas that you could include are stuffed mushrooms, crackers and homemade red pepper hummus, and grilled jalapeno poppers. We recommend serving this Sangria chilled and over laughs with loved ones! Keel and Curley Sangria can be found in your local grocery stores statewide, online, and in the Keel Farms Tasting Room.

Key West Key Lime

Another summer favorite that pays homage to one of the most loved spots in Florida, our delicious Key West Key Lime wine provides zesty, unique flavors perfect for any outdoor BBQ. This key lime-based, coconut-kissed blend of Sauvignon Blanc grapes makes for a taste of summer in every sip.

This wine is perfect for grilled fish, such as blackened salmon, grouper, or tilapia. It also pairs well with BBQ shrimp! 

To satisfy your sweet tooth, pair this wine with a tangy dessert like lemon meringue or key lime pie. If you are looking to buy wine in Florida that is truly one of a kind, find Key West Key Lime also in your local grocery stores statewide, online, and in the Keel Farms Tasting Room.
