Whether you're planning a picnic in the park or a relaxing afternoon on the beach, we've curated a list of mouthwatering pairings to complement the refreshing notes of this delightful wine.
Greek Salad with Feta
Experience the flavors of a Mediterranean summer vacation with a refreshing Greek salad topped with feta cheese.
Include fresh ingredients such as crisp cucumber slices, juicy tomatoes, Kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onions, and bell peppers. Once mixed, drizzle the salad with a zesty dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and dill.
When paired with the Watermelon Blush wine, you’ll be met with vibrant, savory, light, and sweet flavors that are perfectly balanced. Cheers!
Lemon and Herb Grilled Shrimp Skewers
Enhance your picnic with a touch of coastal, Floridian flair by grilling these lemon and herb-seasoned shrimp skewers.
Marinate the shrimp in a zesty blend of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before lightly charring them on the grill. Each sip of Keel and Curley’s Watermelon Blush watermelon wine perfectly complements the smoky char of the shrimp, creating a delightful balance between the wine's fruity undertones and the savory flavors of the dish.
Brie and Strawberry Crostini
Another simple recipe to enjoy an indulgent treat on your picnic are delectable Brie and strawberry crostinis!
Spread a layer of creamy Brie on toasted baguette slices and top them with fresh, juicy strawberries. The blend of rich cheese and juicy berries harmonizes flawlessly with the Watermelon Blush wine in the perfect combination of creamy, tangy, and sweet flavors that will leave your palate craving more. For an elevated version, you can also drizzle honey or place pecans on the crostini!
Caprese Skewers
Capture the essence of summer on a skewer with vibrant Caprese skewers. To make this fun dish, alternate cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and bite-sized mozzarella balls on skewers, and drizzle them with a balsamic glaze.
What better way to enjoy the fruitiness of Watermelon Blush wine than with bright tomatoes, earthy basil, and a creamy mozzarella?
Lemon Bars
How do you end your picnic on a sweet note? We recommend doing so with delicious homemade lemon bars.
The tangy, citrusy flavors of these delightful treats provide a perfect contrast to the natural sweetness of our Florida wine. Between the crumbly shortbread crust and the combination of zest and refreshingly light sweetness, this is the perfect summer dessert.
