Once you wow everyone with this recipe, you’ll want to smile and share all of the ingredients except one “secret” ingredient (that really isn’t so secret). People love secrets and it keeps them coming back for that special dish you make 😉 . You can call this dish “YOUR NAME Rock Star Ribs.” It’s easy, wine friendly, and so delicious. I learned this marinade recipe from a roommate almost 15 years ago and I swear it got me a few dates and ultimately a proposal. No promises on a proposal, but you’ll definitely have happy guests who’ll sing your praises! And don’t show up without wine. Pick up our Frichette Merlot and our Red Table wine. Both will pair nicely with this dish. Okay, here’s the recipe.

6. 1 2″ piece peeled fresh ginger, finely chopped
