Each quarter we feature a wine that is over the top (see our products section). We ask local chefs to pair this wine with one of their favorite recipes. You get the benefit of a great wine, a great recipe and perhaps a new place to dine. :) http://newportliquor.com/TastersResources/Overthetopwinepairings/tabid/690/BlogId/14/language/en-US/Default.aspx en-US Fri, 18 May 2012 20:20:53 GMT Fri, 18 May 2012 20:20:53 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss Blog RSS Generator Version 4.0.0.0 http://newportliquor.com/TastersResources/Overthetopwinepairings/tabid/690/EntryId/23/Pan-seared-Medallions-of-Caribou-with-Morello-Cherry-Jus.aspx <b>Note from the Chef:</b> I would recommend decanting the Black Pepper Shiraz about 10 minutes before serving. This is a great wine with subtle espresso and cherry flavors, rich tannins (not overpoweringly so though) and a great earthiness with just a hint of oak. Think of the scent of the deep dark forest after a heavy rain. These flavors mirror the rich savory flavor of the caribou which has a silky texture much like veal. The red vermouth in the sauce is subtle enough not to mask the wine, while the butter in the sauce adds a velvety finish to compliment the tannins of the Shiraz. http://newportliquor.com/TastersResources/Overthetopwinepairings/tabid/690/EntryId/23/Pan-seared-Medallions-of-Caribou-with-Morello-Cherry-Jus.aspx Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:38:00 GMT http://newportliquor.comDesktopModules/BlogTrackback.aspx?id=23
