Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
As we gear up for Slashfood's Sandwich Day, you better believe we have one sandwich on our minds. It is known as a classic pairing -- peanut butter and jelly. But what if you wanted a perfect pairing of wine for peanut butter and jelly?
It sounds strange, sure, for when is there ever an occasion that you'd be sitting down to a white-clothed table laid out with the finest silverware, crystal, and china holding a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? If you're in Chicago, you would have found the "PB&J" as part of the multi-course tasting menu at Grant Achatz's Alinea, a single peeled grape coated with peanut butter and wrapped in the thinnest toast wafer. And paired with it? Sercial "Charleston" Madeira from The Rare Wine Company. The Chicago Tribune's Food and Wine section this week has a selection of additional wines that pair with the classic sandwich.
Maybe tonight your special dinner "in" will be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with a bottle of 1997 Tommasi Recioto della Valpolicella Vigneto Fiorato.

Since you'll be featuring some PB&J on Sandwitch day, I REALLY suggest you check out:

They have the BEST sandwitches, I love the one with the white chocolate PB and the orange marmelade and almonds. I ALWAYS have a jar of this PB in my cubboard.
