It’s the Green Chartreuse that gives this Green River cocktail by Jason Stevens, Beverage Director of Second Bar + Kitchen, its signature glow! Garnished with a basil leaf and fresh grapefruit slice.

Le Colonial’s Rice Noodle Salad
Le Colonial’s Rice Noodle Salad comes together with fresh Vietnamese vegetables and herbs, and begs for a chardonnay. Delicious with grilled shrimp or steak.
Gin and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Here’s one gin cocktail that couldn’t be easier to create. Just three ingredients, shaken and strained into a Collins glass from my friends at Blue Box, housed inside the Historic Pearl Brewery in San Antonio.
Avocado Toast with Smoked Trout
Spreadable summer goodness from SIMI Executive Chef Kolin Vazzoler. His avocado toast topped with smoked trout on a rustic baguette sliced, drizzled with fresh olive oil. A perfect pairing with the SIMI Sonoma County Chardonnay!
Spicy Chicken Skewers with Greek Yogurt Sauce
Another quick summer grill recipe from Executive Chef Robbie Nowlin of Boudro’s/Zinc! Chicken skewers marinated in a savory/spicy Korean “Gochujang” paste.
Los Barrios Sangria
This is a wonderful, refreshing drink for our hot San Antonio summers… an interesting twist on an old favorite by a beloved San Antonio family.
Spicy Sweet Potato Soup with Greens
We’re addicted to this soup! It’s lovely with strips of tangy turnip greens floating throughout the warm, spicy broth. Feel free to substitute collards or spinach for the turnip greens if desired.
Short Rib Chili
The signature Short Rib Chili from Chef/Owner Phillip Brown of Vince Young Steakhouse in Austin, TX! Served with house made cornbread and brown sugar honey butter.
Apple-Jicama Slaw
A vibrant, zesty apple-jicama slaw from Central Market that also doubles as a fabulous side salad. Fresh- with tons of crunch!
Pecan-Crusted Texas Redfish with Baby Shrimp, Tomato, and Cilantro Butter Sauce
Redfish is a true Texas treasure. It’s been popular with sportsmen for quite some time, but in recent years several very reputable aquafarms have begun to produce these fish near the Texas gulf coast.
