As the leaves begin to change and the weather starts to cool, the ambiance at Juniper Grill adapts to welcome guests into the warm embrace of our dining rooms. The crisp, Fall air outside is the perfect backdrop to the cozy settings inside. If you’re planning a gathering, Juniper Grill is the perfect place for your event with our private dining offerings. We’ll handle everything; all you have to do is pick the menu!
Crafting the Perfect Menu
Consider our Smoked All-Natural Angus Beef Brisket, a dish that promises deep, smoky flavors and succulent textures. To complement such a hearty dish, a bold red wine like a Tassajara Cabernet Sauvignon is essential. With its full body and notes of plum and black raspberry, it stands up to the intensity of the brisket, while hints of black pepper and nutmeg mirror the crisp atmosphere outside. Another great option to pair with this wine would be our succulent short rib, accompanied by succotash, Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, and a rich short rib sauce.
The Jackson Estate Chardonnay from Santa Maria Valley, characterized by its rich and creamy profile with notes of golden mango, pineapple, yellow peach, and honeysuckle, pairs exceptionally well with Juniper Grill’s Wood Grilled Salmon. The wine’s vibrant fruit flavors and floral notes beautifully complement the natural richness of the salmon, while its creamy texture matches the delicacy of wood-grilled asparagus served alongside. Additionally, this Chardonnay would also enhance the flavors of the Santa Fe Bowl, especially when paired with grilled chicken. The dish’s combination of ancient grains, Monterey Jack, pico de gallo, black bean & corn salsa, and avocado, topped with green chili aioli, is uplifted by the wine’s lush fruitiness and subtle floral undertones, creating a harmonious dining experience.
For dishes with a bit of heat, such as our Shrimp and Crab Enchiladas, the Shine Riesling offers a delightful pairing. Slightly sweet, with bright and crisp notes of green apple, pear, and peach, this wine beautifully softens the spiciness of the enchiladas. Its vibrant acidity enhances the overall flavors, evoking the refreshing sensation of a crisp October stroll through the autumn leaves.
