Leslie Kelly Discovers the Perfect Wine Pairing for Ribs
A friend wanted to take her out-of-town significant other out for barbecue in Seattle and asked me to make a rib recommendation. Sorry, no can do. Oh, I’ve tried to find some good bones to gnaw on, but have so far come up empty. Yes, I realize that makes me sound like a smoked meat…
