- dozer - 09-28-2003 What might make a good pairing for warm turkey sandwiches with sundried tomatoes and a black olive & candied lemon tapenade? - hotwine - 09-29-2003 Leave out the candied lemon and try a Zin or peppery Syrah. Otherwise, fuggetaboutit. - Thomas - 09-29-2003 Agree with hotsie. Have never tasted a candied lemon anything, and generally do not pair wine with candied things... - ShortWiner - 09-29-2003 Sounds like the candied lemon might be in the tapenade, though, in which case it might be subtle, giving the sandwich a little sweetness to complement the turkey, like cranberry sauce. - dozer - 09-29-2003 Exactly... It is very subtle and can not really be tasted outright, more of a complimentary thing. - hotwine - 09-29-2003 It's still a matter of trying to pair with sweetness, which is usually an exercise in futility IMHO. Maybe try a Prosecco; with its residual sugar, it might have just enough lemoniness to be complementary. If not.... tea time. - Innkeeper - 09-29-2003 You might go for a Rheingau or Rheinhessen Riesling Spatlese or an MSR Riesling Auslese. - hotwine - 09-29-2003 I thought of that, too, but think the black olive component would seem to discourage a Riesling. A challenging pairing, for sure. - Thomas - 09-29-2003 Yeah, the olive and the candied stuff is problematic, but if anything can handle it, it is likely to be a Riesling with good fruit and good acidity. |
