What comes to mind when you think of summertime? Is it the smell of barbecue or an ocean breeze? Perhaps it’s fresh cut grass or sand between your toes. What summery thoughts are coming to your mind? If you said anything about mouthwatering seafood, then this weeks food truck feature is for you! This Saturday, we will be sharing the day with Cousins Maine Lobster Food Truck. Come and enjoy your favorite summer delight – LOBSTER. Buttery and delicate, Cousin’s Maine Lobster is serving your favorite crustacean in a roll, folded between gooey grilled cheeses, in taco form, or even smothered on top of crispy tater tots. Here’s a couple suggestions from our team at the winery on how you can truly have a Maine Lobster Dinner experience, right here in Hilltown.
First Pairing:
Maine Lobster Role

Feeling Winey Gewurtztraminer
The Maine Lobster Roll is a perfect option for a hot summer day. The buttery Maine lobster is served chilled, with a touch of mayo, on a New England style roll. This sandwich is filled to the brim with heaping chunks of delicate lobster. So we think our Feeling Winey Gewurtztraminer is a perfect pair for this item. A semi-dry Pinot Grigio style wine, this Gewurtztraminer has the ideal crispness to cut through the buttery lobster, while the simplicity of the sandwich itself compliments the sweet notes of the wine. Take a big bite of this roll, and follow it with a sip of Feeling Winey… is that the ocean we hear, or is it just a flavor party happening in your mouth?
Second Pairing:
Lobster Tacos
+
Overworked Dry Riesling
Is there anything that sounds as perfect as “tacos and wine”? We don’t think so, which is why our next pairing is for the Lobster Tacos and our Overworked Dry Riesling. The tacos are stuffed with Maine Lobster, crunchy cabbage, pico de gallo, and cilantro lime sauce. The zesty lime sauce will stand up very well to the Riesling, enhancing the citrus notes in the wine. This dry, bright wine thought it was perfect on it’s own, but these two are just a match made in summery, seafood heaven! Just don’t forget to take a picture, because this is a pairing you’ll want to remember!
Other delicious menu items offered by Cousins Maine Lobster include various types of chowder, fish and chips, shrimp tacos and more! They even have gluten free menu options! So, come on by the winery this weekend to check out Cousin’s Maine Lobster! Enjoy one of our pairing suggestions, or go on your own flavorful journey. There’s no wrong way to relax with some great company, good food, and even better wine!
