Might the French have it wrong? When to serve a salad, that is? Maybe. Here are our thoughts along with this refreshing salad recipe and wine pairing.
Gewürztraminer
Salmon with Spiced Onions & Cranberries – Wine Pairing
Give the outdoor grill a rest. And save the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for other dishes. This superb, oven-roasted Salmon recipe pairs perfectly with Gewurztraminer.
Pork with Apple & Onion – Wine Pairing
Sweet fruit and onions enliven pork tenderloin but it’s the luscious flavors of Gewürztraminer that makes this a winning pairing. Check it out.
Venison and Nero d’Avola
Farm-raised Venison Tenderloin – the healthier red meat – is a game-changer. No guilt. Serve it with Green Peppercorn Sauce and Sicily’s noble red wine, Nero d’Avola.
Gewürztraminer and Risotto with Asparagus & Smoked Trout
Risotto makes a great first course, with smoked trout adding salty complexity and asparagus adding color and crunch. The dish calls for a dry, but fruity white wine. Check out my notes on Gewürztraminer and Muscadet, wines you need to get to know!
