• I was sent a sample of Woodbridge Wine Cue Sauce, a collaboration between Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi and sauce purveyor Daddy Sam’s.
I’m neither an oenophile nor a sauce-ophile (sorry!), but this stuff is pretty good. You can definitely taste the wine in it, while the bbq flavors read more Texas than Memphis.
It is sold exclusively through Amazon.com, May 15th-September 30th.
• GrowMemphis‘ annual plant sale is this Sunday, April 12th, 1-4 p.m., at the Idlewild Presbyterian (1750 Union).
