What would you pair with the Goosebumps Sparking Shiraz?

I don't know the Goosebumps Shiraz but with others (Jacobs Creek) I like to pair them with light deserts like red fruit based tarts.

If there is some residual suger or impresion of sweetness, try something with a bit of dark chocolate.

My wife really enjoys them on there own, as apperitif.

Okay, let me get this right...

You do not enjoy Krug, and you're asking about a sparkling shiraz?


wiml, make darn sure you bring the Champagne on Friday and Saturday night.

I have found something much worse than acidic NV Krug.
Goosebumps is completely unfit for humane consumption.
Even more unbelievable but true, chocolate actually made this sparking worse. It was completely bitter, absolutely no residual sugar.
I have had sparking shiraz that I have liked, but not this.
I'll bring the leftovers Friday for you Wine+Art (xoxox)

I'm supposed to bring Champagne?

Thread drift!
Why do we need champagne anyway!

A perfect illustration of a rhetorical question!

PH

I've found that Sparkling Shiraz should only be served in the hot tub. Pairing it with anything else is a bad idea.

I laughed.

I actually did a few experiments with this topic. I found that ground turkey patties and a berry compote was decent, something i liked, then again I have strange taste.

We had some last weekend (Seaview) with very thinly sliced beef grilled on a hot stone and raclette and it matched very well. I would think salmon would match well too.

for appetizers cheeses (iowa maytag, aged cheddar, blue's) as for entree meat (non red, think veal, pork or chicken) for desert combine choc and fruit (rasberry, strawberry, etc)
