Wine Pairing Recommendations for Upcoming Valentine Menu

Gunderloch-2009-riesling-kabinett-from-rheinhessen-germany-close-up
As you know, our pop-up dinner service is BYOB. Here's some wine pairing recommendations for the upcoming Valentine menu, which was meticulously compiled by our friends, the Kellets. Highly recommended!

 

For specific wines, please contact Cheryl-Lynn Mattos, 497-7704, regarding the Pinot Blanc (Beets), Riesling (Salmon), Pinot Noir (Bun Rieu), and Moscato di Asti (Haw Flake). The other wines can be found at R. Field and/or Fujioka's.

 

OYSTERS

pork cracklins, kaffir lime, fish sauce, chili pepper water caviar

Wines:  ideally, champagne (from Champagne, France of course). But if champagne is not available, then a Prosecco (Ruggeri is my go-to bubbly) from Italy is good. 

BEETS

salt baked beets, raspberries, speck, horseradish creme fraiche, purslane

Wines: 2010 Bethel Heights Vineyard Pinot Blanc, Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon. [Cheryl-Lynn Mattos of JMB Beverages brought this and was a perfect pairing. ]  An alternative to the Pinot Blanc is a domestic Pinot Gris varietal from Oregon or Washington or an Italian Pinot Grigio.
