Alexis George, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Big Red’s Hot Sauce, Smother Sauce Combo
This savory combo contains Blackberry Rum Sauce and the AZ (Arizona) Jerk Sauce. I describe the rum sauce as uniquely delightful. The fruity heat adds lusciousness that you cannot get in other brands. The jerk sauce smells and tastes like an island BBQ in a jar. It brings the spice and gives baked chicken layers of pizzazz. Both are um um good!

This dynamic duo arrives in elegant packaging. Toss wings in the hot sriracha and serve the creamy ranch on the side. The pungent truffles elevate the experience. It provides a subtle exquisite earthiness that complements both items. I consider this a magnificent gift for a foodie.
