I Cook, You Measure with Damon Huard
Of course I thought about tailgating after former UW and NFL quarterback Damon Huard agreed to be a guest measurer on I Cook, You Measure. (Side note: I've always wanted to tailgate, but my work as a sideline reporter has gotten in the way for the last 20 years.)
I knew we would be talking about football and I knew I needed a few options for pairing wine because Damon was kind enough to share a few bottles of his highly rated Passing Time wine. A passion that was fueled by dinners with former teammate and Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Mario. In fact, it was Marino who introduced Damon to Washington wine despite the fact Damon grew up in Washington. Damon shares that story as part of the Bonus Bites episode that you can find right here.
The full episode includes three different appetizers you could make for game day, or any time you're in the mood for elevated snacks: roasted grape crostini, warm antipasti dip and garlic steak bites. Watch the full episode of I Cook, You Measure presented by Safeway for the ingredients lists.
You certainly don't have to pair them with wine, but if you do of course I would recommend Passing Time.
If you're new to the show, you might be interested in catching up on the episodes you've missed. They're available here, along with fun facts, wine pairings and ingredients lists.
