Pairing Foods With Our Wines

Malbec blue lemon

Pairing Foods with our wines is so much fun. While this Event that included an amazing malbec blue lemon combination, it was put together rather quickly. And while it came together nicely, it was so easy because we have been enjoying numerous situations like this for some time now.

I looked over a favorite Malbec – one from Argentina. I located the Tasting Notes (something that makes this decision and the solution super simple) and was already on the path to find the perfect “Take Out” or in our case, “Delivery” for what was sure to be an “Event”.

Malbec is extremely versatile when paired with food. You’ll enjoy it with roast duck, pasta with meatballs and tomato sauce, and especially with BBQ ribs. Just be ure the food has bold flavors to stand up to the firm structure of the wine.

I then began the hunt… looking through the options between our two favorable food delivery services. Doordash and Grubhub… though today Doordash prevailed as their services with Blue Lemon were perfect.

Merlot and Chocolate

Let’s have a little discussion about my version of “Heaven”.  And when I reference Heaven, I am referring to that moment (usually in the evening an hour or so before I go to bed) when I decide to Wind Down, and relax.  I start with a Glass of Fine Wine.  If I have it, I go for a Fine Merlot.  (I get all of my Fine Premium Wines from Direct Cellars – and highly recommend this for anyone that drinks wine).

With Merlot, or even a Cabernet, Dark Chocolate is amazing, especially when you savor and enjoy them together.  

Fine Wines are created around the Globe.  You owe it to yourself to be trying them.  And while going to get them in person is the best experience, the next best thing is having them being sent directly to you.  That is what you get with Direct Cellars.
