I love a great burger any time of year, but there's something about enjoying one surrounded by friends at a summer barbecue that makes them that much more enjoyable. Behold the House Ground Angus Burger from Will Torres, Executive Chef at The Restaurant at JUSTIN in Paso Robles, Calif. along with a fabulous wine pairing from JUSTIN Vineyards. I know how I'll be preparing the burgers the next time I grill...
