Re: Best wine pairing for Diner

Pompon12Member

I would like to have the best wine pairing with the diner that I want to cook in the near future. The meal is as follow: veal strip-loin wrapped in bacon and stuffed with a spinach/mushroom stuffing served with a Cumberland sauce that is made with 1 cup of raspberry coulis, 1 tbsp of orange juice concentrate, 1/2 cup of port and 1 tbsp of currant jelly with a pinch of cayenne. I thought I could pair it with either a 20 year old St-Emilion grand cru or a 13 year old pomerol but I’m not certain. Thanks in advance for the help

I would imagine a northern rhone would go better since you have a fairly acidic sauce. but if you add cayenne, perhaps going to southern rhone instead.

I'd open the merlot based bdx for the cheese plate after dinner.

I think a New Zealand Pinot Noir. Not sure I've ever had Cumberland sauce.

An acidic wine like a Chianti would be my choice.

Pinotage is the best red wine, in my opinion, Barista Pinotage is one of the best. If we talk about white wine, then my choice is Pinot Grigio. Texas residents can look for payday loans at https://cashloansnearby.com/texas/temple/ if they are in urgent need of cash.
