Memorial Day weekend tastes

This Memorial Day weekend we got to sample a number of new tastes.  One wasn't necessarily new (ie, the Torpedo tasting note below - just backlogged), but the rest are new tastes.

  1. Sierra Nevada - Torpedo Extra IPA
  2. Terrapin Ridge Farms - Sweet Red Onion White Balsamic Dressing:  This is Megan's new favorite.  Nice balsamic taste without being too sour and a light onion taste lingers on the palate.
  3. Stonewall Kitchen - Roasted Peach Whiskey Sauce:  My goodness this is delicious.  We tried it with some steak and it wasn't that great a combination, but combine this with pork or chicken and you'd be in heaven.  Nice peach flavor, but the fruit isn't overwhelming at all.  I would recommend this on a grilled pork chop.
  4. Bone Suckin' Yaki - teriyaki-style sauce:  Meh for me as I don't really like Teriyaki that well, but everyone else loved it.  It's got some surprising dark chocolate overtones and is incredibly rich - a little bit would go a very very long way.
  5. Dr. Pete's Praline Mustard Glaze - Delicious on steak and I imagine most anything else (like a simple spoon).  The jar recommended serving this over baked brie and that would definitely be a classic choice, but this is really really good.  There's a lot of that classic praline flavor, with both the pecan and brown sugar being particularly apparent.  Seriously good.
