There's nothing better than a well-cooked meal matched with the right wine, surrounded by friends and family on Hanukkah. The art of matching wine with food is more of an art than science. Let’s explore the art of pairing Hanukkah special food with the right kosher wine:
1. Baron Herzog Chardonnay Special Reserve KosherQuite rich and complex, drawing on pear, citrus, hazelnut, and mineral flavors, all framed in a creamy-smooth texture with plenty of toasty oak. Good acidity carries it along nicely for a clean, lingering finish.
Food pairing idea: Enjoy this sparkling white wine with starters like latkes, sufganiyot, Loukomades, Pretzels, soups, grilled vegetables, barbecued salmon, roasted turkey, lightly seasoned meats, duck breast or grilled poultry preparations and pasta with white sauce.
2. Baron Herzog Merlot Kosher Special Reserve Alexander ValleyHerzog Special Reserve Merlot was crafted from carefully selected Merlot grapes grown in the Alexander Valley. As the wine aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months, it evolved very gracefully, presenting wonderful jam/berry notes that were further enhanced by the character of the oak barrels. The wine is soft and approachable, exhibiting soft tannin and full body.
Food pairing idea: This red merlot is best served with the main course meals like Brisket, any kind of red meat, and lamb roast or red-sauce pasta dish.
3. Barkan Cabernet Sauvignon Classic KosherWith aromas of blackberry and mild oak, this is a full-bodied, rich wine that boasts layers of berry, currant, and anise flavors, which linger on the finish. This award winning wine has been rated as ‘Best Value’ by ‘The New York Times’ and ‘The Wall Street Journal’.
Food pairing idea: This Cabernet Sauvignon is best served with the main course meals which may include full-flavored beef, veal and chicken, medium flavored grilled or sauced chicken, grilled steak, rich cheeses, fruit salads, pasta with red sauce.
