A recipe that raises the bar on a classic Italian pasta dish is surely welcome. Opening the wine pairing option to red or white wine raises it further.
Vermentino/Rolle
Wines of Sardinia
Sailing from Corsica to Sardinia, we encountered massive rock islands, pristine archipelago waters and, of course, excellent Sardinian wines & seafood.
Caprese Salad – Red or White Wine?
What a delicious way to enjoy the sweetness of summer tomatoes – a simple Caprese salad. But the pairing was not so simple. Here is what we discovered.
Rosé and Chilled Tomato Soup with Tarragon Crème Fraiche
Grab the last of the summer tomatoes and transport yourself back to early August with this Chilled Soup. Served with either Rosé or Vermentino, this pairing illustrates the ability of food & wine, like music, to enliven memories of time and place.
Shrimp Scampi Wine Pairing
Summer means lighter wines, lighter fare and fast preparations. Vermentino and Shrimp Scampi deliver all of that. Check out the details in this post.
Vermentino and Brussels Sprout Salad
Really??? Brussels Sprouts??? Yes, really! This is a great “raw” preparation paired with exotic Vermentino – a noble grape of Sardinia now cultivated in California and Italy.
