The Sunday Dinner is on Saturday this month. Now that I've had some time to practice with my new grill and smoker (and the weather's cooling down a bit), let's move it outside with a tribute to Zinfandel, one of my favorite varietals (hey, I get to choose since it's also my b-day weekend). I'll be throwing BBQ'd chicken, ribs, etc. on the grill/in the smoker. It's up to you to bring the sides and desserts, along with a bottle of your favorite Zin, and we'll see how it stacks up against the spicy food.
