I’m celebrating Father’s Day with my girls a little early. They bought me 55 lbs. of lump hardwood charcoal from Wicked Good and couldn’t hide it—so I’m tossing some of Tom Leonard’s steaks on the grill tonight. I’ll serve it up with a bottle of 2000 Chateau La Louviere and the veggies that we planted in the spring.
Nothing beats a dinner served fresh from the garden.
