Barbera                                                                Turkey Burgers Recipe       

Barbera and burgers?  Try it with turkey burgers on the grill.  It's the ideal wine for them.

Italy's Barbera is bright, fruity, cheery, spicy, not snooty, fun to drink and easy on the wallet.  The perfect wine experience.

Barbera comes from the Piedmont region of Italy . . . Home of the great Barolos and Barberescos.   But Barbera is the "drink now" everyday wine of the Piedmont.

What's really great about Barbera is that it doesn't pretend to be more than that.   You just buy it, open it, and drink it.

So here's what you might want to try this Friday night:

Turkey burgers with Swiss cheese, grilled onion, lettuce, tomato, and spicy brown mustard with a healthy glass of Barbera right next to it.

Check below for Barbera choices and Ken's turkey burger recipe.   Then . .
