Tequila Prawns

This week I've paired a great BC Wine, Stoneboat Pinot Gris, with a favorite of mine, Tequila Prawns.

Stoneboat Winery is located just down the road from Burrowing Owl in Oliver on the Black Sage bench.










The crisp acidity of the Pinot Gris matches well with the lime and Tequila sauce.
