I found a bunch of coupons attached to a bottle of wine. Weird? Yes. But Sutter Home’s marketing is currently revolving around a Build a Better Burger contest – with a grand prize trip to Napa for the cook-off.

Some (most actually) were for things we would buy, (Frugalistas take note; $1.00 off chips, pretzels, olive oil, and mustard. No wine purchase required.) nothing that really goes with wine per se…

but it seems that I may just be a step out of synch with food and wine pairings.

I understand Champagne and strawberries, Chiani or Shiraz and a nice, dark chocolate cake, but Avocados and Cabernet??? See back for details,… but not an explanation.
