Meatloaf can pair well with complex wines, but it also works with young, ripe, fresh wines as well. Which is why we chose to pair it with a beautiful 2005 from the Bordeaux appellation of Cotes de Castillon.
Scrambled eggs and truffles is a fun and easy dish to make and serve. It’s a perfect pairing for Bordeaux wine. If you don’t have a Bordeaux wine around, don’t worry. Try a Rhone wine or any wine of your choice. Champagne works great too!
A simple, perfectly roasted Chicken with Mashed Potatoes is perfect wine food.
Pork is a staple in our kitchen because it’s versatile and easy to work with. It’s lighter than beef and it can be paired with a wide variety of wine from Bordeaux, to Rhone, to California or Burgundy. This includes red, white and Champagne.
The best food and wine pairings follow this simple rule. Complex wine, simple food. Simple wines, Complex food.
Most mornings, I start my day with an espresso, toast, or a piece of fruit. But every now and then, that should be accompanied by a side of decadence.
Cooking is about fun and a willingness to try something new. At least that’s how it is in my kitchen. I strive to create flavorful dishes offering intensity, purity and a good canvas for wine pairing.
