The lovely people at Wine Selectors sent me a mixed box of wine. Three white and three red. I must say I am partial to a nice glass of wine and getting a box sent to me was just wonderful. I love presents in the mail, don’t you? I was also blown away that it came with tasting notes and recipes to try with the a suggestion of what bottle to have for each meal. It certainly has taken the guess work out of meal time.
Wine Selectors Chef Series
I was sent a box of the Wine Selectors Chef Series below are the ones that I received:
• Alastair McLeod Riesling 2010
• Ben O’Donoghue Pinot Gris 2011
• Ian Parmenter Gewürztraminer 2012
• Ben O’Donoghue Shiraz 2011
• Frank Camorra Tempranillo 2010
• Grossi Barbera 2011
The Shiraz
The wines so far have been so yummy, and matched the meal that I have cooked and also for one that I did not. Ben O’Donoghue’s Shiraz melted in our mouths course my hubby had to help me taste them. He has also loved all the fancy cooking this week. The Shiraz was rich in flavor and did not taste like it was only made in 2011 it had strength beyond its age. Very impressed with this drop of wine.
The recipe card for Ben O’Donoghue’s Shiraz 2011 was “Grilled Miso Cured Wagu Beef”
Grilled Miso Cured Wagu Beef, cooked by me. It was so yummy I was told to do it again by hubby!
I did add some beans to the meal. I know it was not on the recipe card. So if you are this way inclined too, it worked a treat!
Picking wine for your meal
Have you thought what do I cook for dinner? What wine would go with what meal? Well the lovely suggestions from wine selectors have taken the guess work out of it all. Search Wine Selectors for recipes and get suggestions for wine suggestions for your meal.
The Riesling
I wanted to try out a meal not from the recipe cards to see if the wines matched and it did. I cooked chicken parcels wrapped in bacon & stuffed with pumpkin, fetta & spinach. I teamed this dinner up with Alastair McLeod Riesling 2010, and again the wine really matched the meal and was finished off between hubby and I.
The Riesling was fruity and crisp, just right for these hot days and nights we have been having.
Another fancy meal, hubby is getting used to this. Chicken parcels wrapped in bacon & stuffed with pumpkin, fetta & spinach. Wine is Alastair McLeod Riesling 2010.
