Here's what we learned at The Wine Bar last week at "Who Would Have Thought?" wine class with nine fun and interesting wine/food pairings -
Vinho Verde is inexpensive and rocks! An awesome warm-weather wine and excellent start-off-the-night wine.
Chateau Ste. Michelle "Indian Wells" Merlot is a great value for under $17 and really does go with sweet potato fries!
It's OK to drink a red like Pinot Noir with salmon - and when there's cream cheese involved, it's even better.
Spanish Cava (sparkling wine) works with just about anything - but is fun, light, and refreshing with apples and powdered sugar.
Zinfandel maintains it's reputation as a BBQ wine.
Strawberry Shortcake is way better with Banfi Rosa Regale! The berry flavors of this light red sparkler works with the strawberries and adds great flavors to the shortcake and cream! As Rachel Ray would say, "Yum-O!"
Nine food/wine pairings is a lot and The Wine Bar provided plenty of food! No one left hungry!
Now we're working on the sequel "No Way!" More fun, fabulous pairings for a class this fall. Any suggestions?
