Here are some great organic wine and food parings to try this week!
Pinot Noir and Salmon
This medium-bodied wine enhances the distinct flavor of salmon. Serve the Maysara Jamsheed Pinot Noir with a nicely seasoned and seared salmon filet like in this recipe.
Port and Dark Chocolate
The bitterness of dark chocolate tends to calm the tannins in Port. Try pairing a nice fair trade, organic smooth dark chocolate like this one with the Frey Organic Dessertage Port 2002 .
Merlot and Mushrooms
Merlot is less tannic than wines like Cabernet, soft and velvety. This wine pairs well with mild mushroom dishes like this wild mushroom ravioli recipe. This recipe really matches well with the taste of the Bonterra Organic Merlot.
Chardonnay and Roasted Chicken
The light and complex flavors of Chardonnay particularly compliments the taste of roasted chicken. Pair the Sterling Organic Chardonnay with this roast chicken recipe found here.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Lamb
The fats and protein in lamb neutralize the tannins in Cabernet Sauvignon to bring out its fruity taste. Try the De Martino Organic Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec Blend 2008 with this savory grilled lamb recipe found here.
Enjoy these fine organic wine / food pairings!
