Burger with Grilled Portobellos, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Blue Cheese Recipe
“When I make this burger, I grill almost every part of it: the burger, the mushrooms, the onions, and the rolls. That little bit of char brings out the very best in my first and favorite Josh wine: our Cabernet Sauvignon.” – Joseph Carr, Founder, Josh Cellars
