Each month we select recipes that pair well with our VIP Club wine selections. These recipes are provided exclusivley to our club members to enhance their enjoyment of our wines.
A big assertive wine like Tannat needs to be paired with foods that are equally big in flavor and the firm, strong tannins are softened by rich fatty meats. These short ribs are the perfect combination of flavors and texture to compliment Chrysalis Vineyards 2013 Tannat.
This all American wine needs some all American fare, think venison, beef or blackened fish. With the bright acidity and fuller body, try it in place of your other reds.
This blend of reds would pair nicely with this dish because of the earthy mushrooms and the salty truffle that complement the tannins and acidity of this wine.
This wonderful varied salad would pair perfectly with our Mariposa. The vegetables with the tuna and anchovies really balance and bring out the lovely characteristics in the wine.
You can't go wrong with steak and Norton. Grilled meats are always a great choice for red wine and a little bit of spice pairs beautifully with this Norton.
