This month I'm hosting our Italian Food, Wine & Travel group of writers as we jump into the dog days of summer featuring Italian wines paired with barbeque dishes. If you're like me I don't like to keep the oven cranking to put a meal on the table for my family. Putting meals together on the grill is not only easy, it's delicious. Plus, while you're waiting for your food to cook you can sit on the patio or deck and sip on an Italian wine before your meal is ready. Win win!
