Hello Feast in the Middle East Family,
I hope you are all doing well! In today’s blog I thought I would take a break from sharing a recipe to instead focus on a short and sweet wine pairing 101. While I am not a drinker, I do appreciate the complementary relationship between wine and food, and how one can enhance and deepen the flavor of the other.
For NBC I got to learn from one of the nations finest vintners, Tor Kenward. Tor is a legend in Napa Valley for so many reasons. Not only have his wines earned numerous awards for perfect scores, but he was a pioneer in bringing wine and food together in Napa Valley. Back in the 1970s and 80s, there weren’t many restaurants in the Napa scene, and he wanted to change that. So he cultivated relationships with renowned tastemakers like Julia Child. Together they created magical experiences in Napa Valley.
In the short clip below, you will get a great introduction to wine pairing which will be helpful if you are planning a special dinner or a wine tasting party. It is amazing how you can even elevate the flavor or potato chips when pairing it with the right wine!
