I’d like to thank the Grocery Outlet for sponsoring today’s post.  I only promote things I use in my everyday life and in the last 6 months since being introduced to them, I shop there quite often.  They have great prices on everything from wine, meats, cheeses, dairy, vegetables…. Basically anything you can get at any grocery store but at much lower prices.

Their everyday prices are 20-50% lower than what you can buy at other retail stores so it’s a great place to shop when you want to entertain yet stay within a budget.

How can you save even more than their already low prices?

Their everyday prices are fantastic but if you shop now they are running 20% off sale on all of their wines in stock. It’s a great time to stock up for all of your Spring entertaining.

What’s even more budget-friendly is that if you sign up for their mailing list right now you can also get a $3 off coupon off your entire purchase of already low priced food and wine.

How does the Grocery Outlet get such low prices on their wines?

Don’t worry, the wines you find are the same quality and delicious wines you can buy at other stores.

When wines are sold to buyers they are sold long before bottling or even being picked from the vines. When the crops are harvested and produced there may be a lot more availability due to a hearty harvest.

When this happens the wine buyers go in and buy any overruns there may be and pass all of the savings on to you! In some cases, the labels on the wines are changed, but in a lot of cases, the wines have the same labels that you see elsewhere.

On each shelf they price their wine for what they are selling it for and what you will see it elsewhere.

It’s a great way to buy quality, great tasting wines at a great price. It makes entertaining much more budget-friendly!

Entertaining tips for Casual Entertaining within a budget?

Gorgonzola pasta with steak is a great way to entertain company and be able to serve something special.  Your guests will not go away hungry because the pasta with the creamy sauce fills them up, but they still get a small portion of steak to go with their meal.

It’s easy to serve this meal buffet-style directly from the pan you made the sauce in which cuts down on doing dishes when its time for clean up.

Each person can easily customize their portions by having additional add-ins such as walnuts, arugula and gorgonzola crumbles.

Serve with a simple vinaigrette and salad, garlic bread and pair with a couple of bottles of wine and your all set!

What wines pair with Creamy Gorgonzola Pasta With Steak?

The beauty of this recipe is that it works well with both reds and white wines. A Cabernet or Pinot Noir pair well with the red meat and hearty cheese in the gorgonzola sauce.  But a nice riesling works very well with the gorgonzola too!

It’s nice to be able to more than one choice so you can please those who have definite red and white wine preferences.
