Sip Back & Celebrate: Easy Memorial Day BBQ & Butter Pairings

Long weekends are made for easy sips, good vibes, and laid-back bites with your besties—and this Memorial Day, we’re pouring all the Butter to match. Whether you’re poolside, patio-lounging, or hosting a backyard hang, Butter Wines are your go-to for pairing with light, fresh flavors and fun in the sun.

Here’s how to Butter up your Memorial Day menu with wines that are just as fabulous and feel-good as your crew:

Veggie Skewers with Herbed Yogurt Dip + ButterLight 

Low-key, low-alc, and full of flavor. NEW ButterLight is just 85 calories and 8.5% alcohol—aka your perfect all-day backyard sipper. Lower in alcohol and full of flavor, NEW ButterLight is our lighter take on our classic Butter Chardonnay. Pair it with rainbow veggie skewers (think zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms) and a side of herby yogurt dip for a colorful, healthy snack that is sunshine-approved!.

Vibe: Midday sun, chill tunes, and a wine that keeps the convo flowing.

Grilled Shrimp Salad + Butter Chardonnay 

Rich, creamy, and totally sip-worthy. Butter Chardonnay is made to go with that fresh-off-the-grill flavor. Toss some spicy shrimp on a bed of arugula, avocado, and juicy grapefruit segments. Bright, bold flavors = peak patio vibes.

Vibe: Golden hour, toes in the grass, and sunshine in every sip.

Butter Sauv Blanc + Watermelon & Feta Salad

Zesty, tropical, crisp AF. Butter Sauv Blanc is summer in a glass, made for poolside sipping. It’s the perfect pour for a refreshing watermelon, cucumber, and feta salad—finished with a splash of lime and mint. Light, refreshing and totally patio-ready.

Vibe: poolside hangs, beach days, and an instant refreshment.

Veggie Flatbreads with Pesto + Butter Pinot Noir 

Silky, fruit-forward, and picnic-perfect. Butter Pinot Noir is juicy, very-berry and super versatile—just like your Memorial Day plans. Try it with flatbreads topped with roasted veggies and garlicky pesto. It’s easy to make, pretty to serve, and even better to eat.

Vibe: Breezy evenings, backyard fairy lights, and toast-worthy moments.

Grilled Portobello “Steaks” + Butter Cab

Big, bold, and berry delicious. Butter Cab brings bold berry notes and smooth tannins that stand up to hearty, umami-rich portobello mushrooms straight off the grill. Serve with a side of garlicky green beans or sweet corn for a plant-based dish with serious staying power.

Vibe: Fire pit glow, last pour of the night, and Butter-fueled bonding.
