The pork dumplings and the soup broth were both flavoured with ginger which could have presented a challenge if the wine had not been just right. The Brewer Clifton Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay was a standout with this dish.
The tomato base is alive with great quantities of garlic, subtler herbs such as thyme, celery (substitute for fennel) and saffron. But it is the inclusiion of the aioli and rouille (if using) that take this dish over the top.
These outstanding wines, mostly new releases, are wonderful expressions of their terroir, bursting with robust flavour and depth.
A favourite of our #ThisWineThatDish series it is exciting to include these pairable wines that I know you are going to enjoy as much as I do.
Osoyoos East Bench grown, Bordeaux inspired: a Cabernet Sauvignon focused blend with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carménère…no Merlot was harmed in the making of this wine.

It seemed apropos to celebrate not only #NationalChardonnayDay May 21st and #InternationalChardonnayDay May 27th with something a little bit beyond ordinary but at the same time classic.

Every wine has it’s own characteristics and well, frankly, some things should just not be rushed, especially with the wines of Church and State. Pleasure and enjoyment of the mighty grape falls into that category.
