Serving fish this Holiday? Dress it up with this spectacular “sauce” and wine pairing.
Sauces
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.
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.
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.
Sauvignon Blanc and Seared Scallops
Focusing on the oak treatment of Sauvignon Blancs, we call out those Cali wines better suited for food from those that are patio-sippers. Seared Sea Scallops with Grapefruit Beurre Blanc makes for a beautiful pairing.
Spicy Chicken Pimientos – Wine Pairing
Spicy chicken dishes are world staples. Nearly every culture has them. But if you want to move beyond beer as a beverage for these dishes, you’ve got to explore the landscape of Rieslings.
Black Cod with Pea Sauce – Wine Pairing
Salmon, Tuna, Swordfish – all great, but don’t you want to grill something else for a change? Try Black Cod . . . especially with this Pea Sauce from a great chef that may be new to you. While you’re at it, make room for Vouvray on your wine rack – a versatile, delicious white wine!
