Some of my favorite episodes of Crush On This are those that highlight food and wine pairings. When Allison and I develop the themes, we do our best to focus on intriguing wines with some of our favorite dishes that are hopefully yours, too. Most of the time, we’re hustling about in the kitchen prepping and cooking, but for the Burger and Wine Pairing episode, we purchased the burger at a local burger shop in our respective cities. Then again, in the Italian Wine and Cheese Tasting, we received the cheeses as samples. There’s never a dull moment and we always have fun!
Please enjoy the following videos and let me know via email (cindy@grape-experiences.com) if you tried any of our suggestions.
Italian Wine and Cheese Tasting
There is a saying that wine, cheese, and bread are the nirvana and we would not disagree. There really isn’t anything better than a wine and cheese pairing, especially an Italian wine and cheese pairing. Italy produces over 400 types of cheese and as many, or more, types of wines. Join us as we enjoy three cheeses from Monti Trentini paired with three Italian wines.
Ravioli and Wine Pairings
Ravioli is a classic Italian dish. Made of pasta parcels stuffed with cheese and a wide array of fillings, ravioli is almost always served with pasta sauce. Whether it’s creamy like Alfredo or tomato-based like a marinara, both white and red wines are luscious pairings. But how do we decide which wines to pour?
Wines to Pair with BBQ
Do you wonder which wines to pair with BBQ? July may be National Grilling Month but we grill all summer long and beyond. When it comes to pairing grilled meat, seafood and vegetables with wine, Allison, Cindy, and Christine have come up with some pairings you may not have considered.
Burger Friendly Wines
Just when you think you should reach for a beer to drink with that burger, STOP! There’s a wine waiting for you instead! But which one? We share two exceptional wines with two luscious burgers, then explain why the pairing works. Don’t miss this episode of Crush on This!
Decadent Dessert and Wine Pairing
Do you have a sweet tooth for dessert? Next time you enjoy a sinful dessert, try a wine and food pairing. Beautiful, elegant, sweet wines, as well as dry wines pair with a variety of decadent desserts. In this episode, each of us selects something to satisfy our sweet tooths and pairs those bites with delicious wines.
Cheers! ~ Cindy
