FALL PAIRINGS 2021
SPARKLING WINE
A light bodied dry wine, with crisp fl avors of lemon, apple, apricot and honey. The kindred flavors coming from the apples paired with the acidity from the pickled green beans will be a nice complement to the palate. This wine will leave you with a crisp finish to contrast the sweetness from the other items on the board.
SHINING STARS
Blue Cheese
Texas Apple Pie Jam
Sweet Heat Jam Company
CHARDONNAY
A medium bodied white wine with medium acidity and flavors of lemon, pineapple, peach and vanilla. The creamy nature of an oaked chardonnay is a great companion for a creamy blue cheese, complementing the “blue veins” in the cheese. The acidity from the Chardonnay also acts as a tasty contrast to the higher sweetness found on the board.
TEXAS ESSENTIALS
Pickled Green Beans
Pumpkin Butter
Sweet & Spicy Pecans
Sliced Dry Salami
MALBEC
A medium bodied wine with the dark fruit flavors like blackberries, cherries and plums, with hints of leather. Malbec has a strong but subtle flavor that perfectly complements the strong, bold flavors of the blue cheese. The powerful flavors of the Malbec make it a great pairing for the strong flavors of the spices in the salami and pecans.
