Dining out is never just about the food; it's also about the atmosphere, and while plenty of places have an atmosphere, only some can claim the unique experience that is Easey's in Collingwood, Melbourne.

For those who have been Melbournites for some time, you're in for a nostalgic experience. But, for those new to Melbourne, this is an unmissable restaurant. Several train carriages sit atop a building in a darkened side street of Melbourne's inner suburb of Collingwood. It's okay, though - they're not going anywhere! In fact, they are complete dining rooms that have commanding views over the skyline. What makes them even better is the delicious American-style fare served to hungry passengers in the form of burgers, hot dogs, and fries.What more could you possibly want? Wine would be an excellent addition, right? Now they have you covered with that as well. Easey's has partnered with Greasy Fingers Wines, and you'd be right in thinking that's a name that fits well with a burger joint. They have carefully selected three wines that go perfectly with a selection of burgers.

What Makes a Delicious Burger Even Better? Wine of course!
For white wine lovers, the chardonnay is so smooth and buttery that you can easily polish off a glass before your meal arrives. However, you'll want to save a little because this drop perfectly compliments the fried chicken sandwich, bringing out the flavours of the crispy breading. At the same time, the slight acidity downplays any of the greasiness.
If you like your spice and all things nice, you'll need to order the Rowdy Double Cheeseburger with a Greasy Fingers Shiraz Grenache. I'm not a fan of red wines, but this medium-bodied drop had a velvety texture and a fruitiness that may make me change my mind. It paired nicely with the charred patty and enhanced the jalapeno flavours well.The third wine was a robust and peppery Shiraz. This one pairs with Easey's Chopped Cheese and Gravy burger. The tannins, the beef, the gravy - a match made between a heavenly vineyard and a burger joint.

Easey's is a collaboration between three partners - Jimmy Hurlston, Phil Martin, and Jeremy Gaschk. While the brick-and-mortar has been in place since 2015, the passion for bringing Melbourne the perfect burger has existed longer. Jimmy travelled the globe reviewing and searching for the magic that makes the ideal sandwich. As a result, he produced The Burger Book, Victoria in 2013, and guests get to experience the results in a graffitied train car. This degustation and collaboration with Greasy Fingers Wines have been in the works for the past five months now, and you get to enjoy the perfect night out with a unique experience, wine, and burgers.
