Superb chardonnay. Rich but refreshing,  with the right balance of acidity. Full bodied flavor of toasted brioche, butter, peach, melon and a hint of lemon. Pleasurable to the palate, with a very long finish.

Pairs perfectly with Taiwan pineapple pastry.

What wine to pair with the Signature Pork Ribs of Blake's Wings and Steaks

August 4, 2023


WHAT WINE TO PAIR WITH THE SIGNATURE PORK RIBS OF BLAKE'S WINGS AND STEAKS 

Last night's meal was superb! I simply must mention my discovery of the perfect pairing of Blake's Wings and Steaks signature pork ribs with the 2019 La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. 




We know about the congruent and contrasting pairings of wine and food. This is a congruent pairing of flavors. They enhance and amplify each other's flavors. You should try it! 

MY REVIEW OF BLAKE'S SIGNATURE PORK RIBS:

Very tender, juicy and tasty, with a hint of smoke. The flavors are so well balanced, you can't stop eating it. It never overwhelms. The corn and carrot siding is a perfect accompaniment and goes very well with it. 




The small party tray comes with 16 pieces of meaty ribs and could feed 5-8 people.




I ordered it online for delivery and service was very efficient. It arrived on time.


MY REVIEW OF THE 2019 LA CREMA SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR:

Minerals, moss and cherry on the nose. A burst of light sweet cherries on the palate. Light and refreshing with a hint of oak. Sweet long finish.



What Pasta to Pair with Italian Wine

What Pasta to Pair with Italian Wine


I'm neither a wine or food connoisseur but I enjoy wine and food and wish to share with you what I discover when pairing food with wine. If you have the same taste as I then you will enjoy it the same way I did.


We had Spaghetti Putanesca and Spaghetti al Fredo for dinner last night. So the challenge was to find what wine pairs with it and I discovered the ff.
