- wine dummy - 11-08-2003 We are invited to attend a food/wine pairing get together. We were given a menu item and have to match it with a wine. We are looking for help in the wine catagory. The food selections are: 1. Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna with Spicy Asian slaw.(no peanut butter in the slaw recipe) 2. Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper spread with assorted breads.(cream cheese base) Thanks to all that responded with suggestions. With your help and some other research we have chosen: for the tuna - Sparr Pinot Gris Brand Alsace Grand Cru -1999 for spread & bread - Regaleali Rosso-2001 Has anyone tasted either of these wines? If so, what was your view on them?

We would go with a Portugese Dao Riserva. You should be able to find a nice one for around $10 or $12. - wineguruchgo - 11-08-2003 I would buy a Riesling from Alsace for the Tuna because a little bit of sweetness will counter the spicy slaw. Alsacian white are not like the Germanic sweet finishing whites. They are dry and elegant. For the breads and spreads a nice Chianti might be nice if you want a red for this. If not, I would go with a low oak white from Italy. |
