Holiday Wines 2018
Many Holiday wine recommendations fail to advise you of food pairings and may list wines that you can’t find in wine stores. You deserve better, and we happily accept the challenge. Here are our best ideas.
Grilled Beef Kabobs – Cali or Aussie Cabernet?
Think high-end California Cabernets have become too expensive? We do, and found better options from the Margaret River Region of Western Australia . . . ideally paired with this amazing steak dish.
Croatia and Grgić Wines
Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast: Stunning vistas, ancient cities, unique wines and the freshest seafood simply prepared. We thought this wine primer might be helpful when you go.
Roasted Chicken Provençal – Rosé or White Wine?
This is a classic example of how the spices and sauce (rather than the protein itself) drives the wine pairing. Here the Herbes de Provence point to the wines of Southern France – Rosé and white Southern Rhone blends.
Wines of Sardinia
Sailing from Corsica to Sardinia, we encountered massive rock islands, pristine archipelago waters and, of course, excellent Sardinian wines & seafood.
Wines of Corsica
Sailing the southwest coast of the French Island of Corsica – what better way to experience the dramatic coastline and diverse food & wine culture. Check it out.
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.
Chicken with Orange & Star Anise Wine Pairing
Somms tout Riesling as one of the great whites of the wine world, so why don’t more wine drinkers embrace it? We posit that drinkers are drinking and not pairing. It’s food that brings out the best in Riesling.
