Bay Radio – Sunday Brunch Wine Recommendations!

Chorizo Chicken & Chickpeas:
 
As we’ve said before, chicken is very wine friendly and isn’t proud – it is happy to share the table with all colours and most styles of wine. So it’s the highly flavoured chorizo that we have to deal with in this dish. A young red from Navarra, where Garnacha is the predominant variety in the blend, would suit it quite well.
 

Sunday Brunch Presenters, Noelle and Bob, enjoying the recommended wines!

However, the chilli included in the recipe would emphasise and noticeable tannin, making the wine harsh and therefore detracting from the dish as a whole.

 
It might be better, therefore, to go for a Rosado – same place and same grape variety or maybe from Rioja where Tempranillo may also be involved. Spain is home to some excellent rosado wines which are often well under 10€ a bottle, so I think that I’d go for this.
 
Salud!

BAY RADIO’S NEXT ON-AIR WINE TASTING!

The first on-air, live studio wine tasting on 2011 will take place on Sunday 16th January.

Presenters Noelle and Bob will be tasting wines I recommend to accompany Noelle’s recipe of the week. Listeners are invited to call the studio to comment and/or ask questions.

It’s great fun and informative too, so why not tune in or listen through the internet and join the 40,000+ others who regularly do likewise?!

BAY RADIO’S SUNDAY BRUNCH WINE RECOMMENDATION

Presenters Noelle and Bob enjoy the Sunday Brunch wine recommendation!
Honey Winter Salad:
 
This dish has an inherent sweetness – the honey of course, but also the pumpkin and onions. However the slightly salty feta cheese, vinegar and the vegetal spinach will temper the final flavours allowing us to go for a dryish style white wine which, nevertheless, retains a certain crispness.
 
Moscatel and Gewurztraminer will be too aromatic; Sauvignon and probably Verdejo, too acidic. A good bet will be an Albariño white from DO Rias Baixas – the 2010 vintage should be excellent.
 
Or we could look for a Viognier, a variety that is becoming more prevalent in Iberia – one from not too high a vineyard which may have a very slightly increased residual sugar content to match those sweet flavours.
 
Salud!
