Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
Serve these with all your favorite hot dog toppings! Think classic ketchup and mustard, relish, or a vibrant slaw for a festive Fourth of July treat.
Wine Advice:
For a hot dog substitute that's this savory and smoky, you need a wine that can bring a little party to the barbecue. A light, crisp white wine like an unoaked Chardonnay would be a perfect partner. Its clean, bright flavors will beautifully complement the smokiness and won't get lost in the condiments. A chilled rosé would also be a fantastic choice, making your cookout truly unforgettable.
