The crowded field of Rosé cries out for leadership and direction. The Rosés from this Provence Chateau may be the best place to start. Check out this four course lunch we enjoyed with their wines.
Sancerre at Mr. G’s Restaurant
The wine pairings we enjoyed at Mr. G’s illustrate the flexibility of Sancerre and Chardonnay with different foods. Here’s how it came down.
Osso Buco Wine Pairing
Open your cellar to two wines from Chile – Carmenère and Carignan. Both are great with Osso Buco, yet appeal to different wine palates.
Chianti Classico and Lamb Ragù
Hannibal Lecter loved Chianti. However, we disagree with his suggested food pairing. We posit that Lamb Ragù is the ideal pairing for this delicious Sangiovese from the 2010 vintage.
Barbaresco and Pasta with Robiola & Truffles
Time to revisit Fettucini Alfredo? No, it’s time to move on. This pasta dish kills Alfredo especially when paired with either Barbaresco or Arneis. Don’t hesitate.
25 Vintages of Clos de l’Obac Priorat
Rare is the wine dinner when one can taste 25 consecutive vintages of a world class Priorat paired with 6 Catalan-inspired courses. Here’s how it unfolded.
Grilled Salmon with Creamy Tarragon Sauce – Wine Pairing
Fiano di Avellino and this retro sauce recipe make music together when paired with grilled Salmon. Check it out.
Chateauneuf du Pape with Grilled Lamb Chops
The rosemary-infused marinade for these chops drove the wine pairing. The result? A perfect score for the Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape!
Frappato and Chicken Marsala
The critics are raving about the 2014 vintage of Sicilian wines. While a healthy dose of skepticism is always in order, I agree with them in this case. Nero d’Avola and the reds from Etna are excellent examples. But give Frappato a try . . . especially paired with this Chicken Marsala dish. Eccezionale!
