Comfort Food & Wine Pairings

Negroamaro is like extra "sauce" on spaghetti. It has bright acidity, matching the marinara. Its tannins yield to the rich meatballs, letting flavors of black plum, dried cherry, tobacco, spice, and herbs shine.

Spaghetti and Meatballs with Negroamaro

Mac & Cheese with Riesling

With so much butter and cream, mac and cheese can be pretty mild. Jazz it up with Riesling's floral, fruit, and herbal aromatics. Each sip seasons the dish, while its acidity cuts through the richness.

Meatloaf with Zinfandel or Syrah

Play up the sweet tomato glaze with a juicy California Zinfandel. Or, accent the savory, buttery mashed potatoes with a meaty Syrah.

Pulled Pork with Off-Dry Riesling

Off-dry Riesling is harmonious with the sweetness of barbecue sauce. It has refreshing acidity to match the vinegar in pulled pork.

Egg Brunches & Sparkling Rosé

Few things hold up to egg's gelatinous texture like bubbles. Sparkling rosé's vibrant acidity cleanses the palate, while its bright red fruit pops against the myriad of brunch ingredients.
