Easter dinner wine pairing
With Easter Sunday approaching, it's time to go shopping for the perfect dinner, and of course, the perfect Wine! No matter what your dinner entails, there are exceptional wine choices for any meat or meat-less meal!
Ham + Chardonnay
Non-oaked Chardonnay with flavors of citrus and herbs will pair perfectly with a warm smoky ham!
Recommendation: Bledsoe Family Winery 2020 Elizabeth Chardonnay, Walla Walla, WA
Roast Lamb + Malbec
Lamb pairs well with the lush flavors of a bold Malbec, which has some savory notes and a touch of spice.
Recommendation: Kunde 2016 Meritage 202, Sonoma Valley, CA
Turkey + Pinot Noir
A well-balanced Pinot brings out the flavor and juiciness of a roasted turkey.
Recommendation: Résonance 2014 Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, OR
Salmon + Sauvignon Blanc
With its crisp acidity and floral notes, Sauvignon Blanc draws out the best flavors and minerality of fresh salmon.
Recommendation: Pascal Jolivet 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Attitude, Touraine, France
Grilled Veggies + Merlot
A bold smoky Merlot pairs nicely with the rich flavors of grilled and seasoned vegetables!
Recommendation: Tarapacá 2019 Merlot, Central Valley, Chile
Chocolate + Cabernet Sauvignon
No Easter is complete with lots of chocolate, so be sure to have a hearty and robust Cabernet handy! (Adults only!!)
Recommendation: Justin 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, CA
