Are you interested in learning more about pairing the right foods with our Woodinville and Washington wines?
I throw a dinner party or wine cocktail party just about every week, and I haven’t been too concerned with pairing wines with food. (I’ve been busy instead with vacuuming, grocery shopping, cleaning, setting the table, cooking the food, etc.) I always have fruit, meat, cheese, veggies and olives out, but I’d like to do a better job of presenting a fantastic local wine that will enhance the main entree and appetizers I’m serving. (I feel like dessert pairing isn’t too difficult since we have so many dessert wines available here in Woodinville!)
Today I’m watching some educational wine videos on YouTube, and I’d like to share some of my favorites.
