  Zinfandel



Asian Grilled Pork Ribs

Limerick Lane
Owner Mike Collins
 

Some of the grapes Limerick Lane uses to make its Collins Vineyard Zinfandel (think well-rounded and food-friendly, with aromas and flavors of jam, spice, raspberries and a hint of vanilla) came from vines planted in 1910. Owner Michael Collins purchased the land in 1977 with his brother Tom and friend Ted Markoczy. At first they sold their grapes to nearby wineries, including DeLoach, Ravenswood, Gary Farrell and others, but eventually became inspired to make some wine of their own. In 1986, they produced their first wine, a Sauvignon Blanc. In 1993, they completed their winery; 10 years later, they opened their tasting room. Winemaker Ross Battersby (formerly a safari guide in Africa) joined the company in 1997. The result is a well-rounded wine that sets the tone for a good time.


                                                              
Asian Grilled Pork Ribs
For the marinade:
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup cider vinegar
For the barbeque sauce:
2/3 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup cider vinegar
2/3 cup tomato ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 thin slices fresh ginger, peeled
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sesame oil

 


Preparation:

Marinate ribs in soy sauce/cider vinegar mixture for at least 20 minutes and set aside.
Combine all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove garlic and ginger. (This may be done well ahead of grilling.)
Grill ribs on low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, turning about every 5 minutes. Brush both sides of ribs with barbeque sauce just before they finish cooking. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and store in a warm oven until serving.
