Wine Tip
Zinfandel
Wines made from Zinfandel grapes are characterized by a spicy aroma with a bouquet of dark grapes and spices. Thus, they provide a perfect counterpart to this savory burger.
Step 1
Preheat the grill. Slice onion into thin rings. Gently sauté half of the onions in some olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
