Susan Nagle’s Evolution Spiced Wings
A Boy, His Big Green Eggs, Evolution & Meditrina
It was 103˚F in the Valley last week, too hot for Oregon! People start to fall over when it gets that hot in this Valley. Good for the grapes, bad for the grapes? Normally not our choice, as we had not completed bloom yet. We are almost 2 ½ weeks behind. This weekend of 90+ weather definitely helped bloom finish. What does that mean to you and me? It looks like we are going to have a good amount of great Pinot Noir to drink in 2008! Crop looks good at this point. Still a long way to go, keep thinking good thoughts.
So, what do you eat in this heat? How about a cool refreshing fruit salad, gazpacho? Not if you’re my wife. Her choice, Evolution Spiced Hot Wings! Well, I always said she was hot! Here is how she did it:
Preparation: Season your chicken wings with Evolution Spice on both sides. Call Rodolphe in the Tasting Room, he will get you a bottle of Evolution Spice. Let the Evolution Spice sit on the wings as long as you can. Refrigerator if it is going to be longer than 20 minutes.
Grilling: These Evo Wings were cooked on our Big Green Egg, Mac. Susan heated the grill up to 320˚ F and placed the wings around the outside edge of the fire ring. Wings were cooked about 10 to 12 minutes a side or until done. The last couples of minutes the wings were coated with Stubb’s BBQ sauce and were allowed to bake on. Total cook time was about 30 minutes.
Wine: Evolution 12th Edition. There is nothing better than Evolution with bold flavors and spicy dishes. Hot wings, hot weather and Evolution…A Natural Trilogy!
