Fiano di Avellino and this retro sauce recipe make music together when paired with grilled Salmon. Check it out.
Pinot Noir
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!
Holiday Wines for 2015
The Holidays are nearing, so I thought I’d share with you my recommendations for your special dinners this Season. Cheers!!!
Coq Au Vin Wine Pairing
Elevate the humble chicken and serve Coq Au Vin. Julia Childs will show you the way. And pairing this with a beautiful Pinot Noir from California will illustrate why this is a classic combination.
Duck Breast and a Cult Pinot Smack-Down
A cult, California Pinot Noir gets smacked down by a Rioja Crianza? Yes, you read that correctly. How? It’s all about the sauce!
Salmon: Chardonnay or Pinot Noir?
Grilled Salmon pairs beautifully with a number of light-styled wines. Choosing one depends on the sauce or salsa accompaniment.
