"I’ve been a cook and writer my whole life. I wrote my first original recipe and mailed it to a TV show when I was four years old. I was lucky enough to have been raised by one of those legendary Southern grandmothers who cooked with great skill and no recipes. Even when my cooking veered drastically away from Southern for a few years, she was always open to what I prepared and would taste anything."

Bourbon Barrel Ale
Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale from Alltech's Lexington Brewery and Distillery starts as a 6.0% red ale before it goes into the bourbon barrel for six weeks to give it the distinctive bourbon characteristics. Other breweries use bourbon barrels, so what is special about Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale? Well, the barrels are fresh, coming directly from the distilleries, which means they are wet, unlike the barrels most brewers use. There is a lot more bourbon in the barrels to impart flavor in the beer. In fact, the beer pulls over three gallons of bourbon from the barrel, raising the abv to 8.2% while imparting that over-the-top bourbon flavor into the beer. Bourbon and barbeque go together, which is why this bourbon beer is the perfect complement to a barbequed chicken calzone.
Nero d’Avola – Sicily, Italy
Italy meets the South with this dish, and barbecue sauce will throw an interesting pairing opportunity into the mix. I want to keep it Italian, so I am going as far south as possible with this one - Sicily. Here, Nero d’Avola is the king of red grapes and it makes for a medium bodied wine that has punchy red fruit and just enough structure calzones with BBQ.
