Simply Delicious
I know most people think chefs always prefer fancy foods, but most of the time, I like to eat simply. Give me a taco, a yakitori skewer, or a grilled cheese sandwich made with great ingredients, and I’m good to go. Same goes for wine. I don’t need fancy, I need it to be well-grown, well-crafted and delicious. Supply that, and I’m a happy camper.
The thing I relish in both food and wine is balance. The idea of balance is something that hits me in the head every time I have a glass of our Los Carneros Pinot Noir and hits me in the stomach when I pair it with something that’s simply delicious.
I’m not calling our Los Carneros Pinot Noir simple. It’s far from that. The layers of fruit and spice that evolve in the glass over the course of a meal is proof. Simply put, our Pinot is approachable, flexible and always in balance. The tacos that follow will definitely shore up my argument. They’re simple, juicy and packed with flavor. The flour tortillas, unlike corn tortillas, don’t get in the way of the wine, and the rich umami of the mushrooms, mixed with the juices of the chicken, are damn near perfect with the Pinot Noir.
Make a batch, open a bottle and revel in the simplicity of a well-crafted meal.
Until the next wine…
Maria
