Adventure with Miele!

Miele is so excited as we prepare for the International Food Bloggers Conference. During our pre-conference excursion participants will prepare dishes from 6 countries around the world, and since we are the Exclusive Wine Refrigeration Sponsor we thought it would be great to look into which wines pair perfectly. Here is a glimpse into the excursion:

Beef Marsala
Recommendation: French Burgundy, which is a Pinot Noir.
Explanation: The Mercurey region usually is a good value. A French Burgundy, versus a California Pinot Noir, is usually more earthy, less fruity and will pair better with mushrooms in the sauce.
 
Pasta Fagioli
Recommendation: Pinot Grigio
Explanation:  Pinot Grigio is light and refreshing to drink with a hot soup.
 
Souffle
Recommendation: Sauvignon blanc
Explanation:  A Sauvignon blanc goes best with the flavors of this savory soufflé, but  try to stay away from a New Zealand Sav Blanc which is very popular now – but has a real distinct citrus, especially grapefruit, taste.  A French Vouvray would be good as well.
 
Paella
Recommendation: Albarino
Explanation: This is a Spanish wine from the Galicia region in Spain. It is a great white food wine as it can handle spice but is neither too acidic nor oaked. Works nice  as a summer wine well chilled.
 
Pork Buns
Recommendation: A Riesling from the Alsace region.
Explanation: This specific Riesling, very different from a US produced Riesling as it is quite dry, goes well with Asian flavored foods.
Last we will feature a dessert from our Germany, our International Headquarters! Register for our excursion to find out what that is!
