Introduction |
| I consider this wine to be especially great when feeling casual. It’s a great for a picnic or when I’m in my favorite chair reading. That is why a sandwich is such a great pairing. This sandwich is a favorite snack of our cooks after a busy night at the King Estate Restaurant. We all have our slight variations, but the main idea remains the same throughout: Just as a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, a sandwich is only as good as it’s lowest quality ingredient. In other words, use the best ingredients available to you and it will be nothing short of brilliant.
