Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer – and the start of grilling season. While many people may reach for a beer to go with their burgers and hot dogs, why not uplift the barbecue experience with a bottle of KORBEL California Champagne? The truth is, champagne pairs beautifully with a wide variety of foods. Here are some pairings to try at your next cookout:

• KORBEL Brut is a versatile bubbly that goes well with hot dogs, potato chips, veggies and dip.
• Pair hamburgers, grilled chicken and steaks with our richly flavored KORBEL Brut Rosé, KORBEL Blanc de Noirs, and KORBEL Chardonnay California Champagne.
• Grilled prawns and shrimp pair beautifully with KORBEL Natural’ or KORBEL Sweet Rosé, depending on whether you prefer dry or sweet bubbly.
• For barbecued ribs, opt for KORBEL Brut Rosé or serve KORBEL Rouge, which pairs well with a variety of grilled meats.

And don’t forget dessert! Serve grilled fruits with KORBEL Sweet Cuvée.
