+--- Thread: Wine Pairing Suggestion Please (/thread-597.html)
- Canadianfem - 09-08-2005
Hi There
For our gourmet site I like to place a wine pairing suggestion with the main dishes. I certainly realize it is often a personal decision but I still like to offer folks a possible option. Definately not my expertise and I use the internet to help me along when possible. I was hoping someone might offer suggestions from time to time when I post a recipe. I'll just post the ingredients and dish name [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
Like NOW!!! hehehehe

Looks sweet and spicy. How about a Reisling or Gewurtztraminer?
- Canadianfem - 09-08-2005
Since I love Rieslings I'll definately use a Riesling. I've only had one experience with a Gewurtztraminer and it was like someone mowed the lawn in the my mouth...that grassy taste. Haven't tried one since, although I'm sure there are some lovely ones [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
Thanks so much, I'll add the Riesling to that webpage.

I selected a German Riesling (I've never had a german riesling) called
BALBACH RIVERSIDE RIESLING
Thanks again

Be sure it doesn't say "troken" on the bottle. That means dry. Most German Rieslings that don't carry that moniker are off dry. You can be certain when you buy a "Spatlese" (somewhat off dry) or "Auslese" (very off dry). Before someone jumps all over me, let me qualifiy that these designations refer to the state of the grapes before fermentaion, but the ending wines usually follow the same pattern.
You do want an off dry wines with this dish.

Alrightly, I went back to make sure and it is a 2001 and its off-dry.
I'm glad I checked though and thanks for defining those terms for me. I've seen them but never realized that is what they meant. I thought it was just part of the title.
