Here we go – recipes and wine pairing!
For years, I’ve wanted to do more with food and wine pairings, particularly helping with non-traditional pairing ideas for Piedmont wine. Well, the insanity of the past few months finally brought that to fruition. I am beyond excited to be able to present Denise Pardini of Castello di Sinio’s amazing recipes with Piedmont wine pairing tips.
Our recipes diverge from traditional Piedmont cuisine – not because we don’t love it. Of course, we do. But, because unless you live here, tajarin and brasato are not always readily available.
A few words on me for new readers joining from Denise’s community: I moved to the Langhe from Denver, Colo. in 2013. I started Girl’s Gotta Drink back then to help would-be travelers better navigate this magical wine land. The site just sort of took on a life of its own from content to my work designing travel experiences for area visitors.
The more I built my network here – and, my amazing reader and client community – the more fun it became, branching out to other regions, new projects, and more. So, here we are with this Piedmont food and wine collaboration with Denise.
Each month we’ll feature three of Denise’s recipes with my wine pairing notes. But, we have a ton of her recipes on the site and many more to come. Find the featured recipes and wines below the order sheet.
I’ll also be updating pairing ideas and notes as I remake recipes to try with wines I think to offer a good match. But without further ado…
Let’s get you some wine!
