The Open Fire
The Open Fire
There’s something timeless about cooking over an open flame. The warmth, the aroma, the way great food and wine bring people together is a summer tradition we all look forward to year after year. The Open Fire Provisions Box: Summer Edition is an invitation to embrace that ritual, pairing hands-on grilling with a thoughtfully selected trio of wines: the vibrant Highflyer Brut, the crisp and refreshing Priest Ranch Grenache Blanc, and the bold, expressive Block 136 Cabernet Sauvignon.
From briny oysters brightened with mignonette to perfectly charred steak skewers finished with Mediterranean butter, each element is designed to move effortlessly from fresh to flame-kissed. It’s a celebration of summer that is meant to be shared, savored, and enjoyed one course, one glass, and one moment at a time.
a little kick
Chili Pepper Mignonette
A vibrant twist on a classic oyster accompaniment, this Chili Pepper Mignonette brings together bright acidity, subtle heat, and fresh aromatics for a condiment that awakens the palate. The balance of tangy vinegar and chili pepper creates a lively contrast to the briny sweetness of fresh oysters, enhancing their natural flavor without overpowering it.
While traditionally served with shellfish, this versatile mignonette can also be drizzled over grilled seafood, roasted vegetables, or fresh summer salads. Plus, it’s a great base for our Chili Pepper Vinaigrette featured in the Summer Beans & Greens recipe! Pair it with a chilled glass of Priest Ranch Rosé for a refreshing combination that celebrates the flavors of the season.
a new staple
Mediterranean Butter
Rich, savory, and infused with Mediterranean-inspired flavors, this compound butter transforms everyday dishes into something memorable. Fresh herbs, garlic, citrus, and a touch of spice come together to create a versatile finishing butter that melts beautifully over grilled meats, seafood, and seasonal vegetables.
Whether spread onto warm bread, stirred into roasted potatoes, brushed on your Steak Skewers with Summer Vegetables, or spooned over freshly grilled oysters, Mediterranean Butter adds layers of flavor and elegance with minimal effort. Keep a batch on hand all summer long for effortless entertaining and delicious weeknight meals.
