What could be finer than pairing your deli sandwich with a seductive glass of wine? If you’re already contemplating on lunching with delicatessen, complete the experience by picking the perfect bottle of red. This way, you can turn a simple lunch into a sumptuous meal.
Imagine eating roast beef wrapped in ham, provolone laden oven-gold turkey, salami, sautéed red onion, lettuce and tomato on toasted white bread. There could be nothing more gratifying than washing it down with a lush red. To satisfy this craving, you can go to a wine and deli bar, or you can purchase all these from Walmart. They have a deli section and a wide variety of alcoholic beverages on their shelves.
