Wine Dinners- March 19

 

Course 1: Chips and Salsa + Sauvignon Blanc

The chips and salsa were tasty, the chips were lime flavored and the salsa was hot. It was delicious. The sauvignon blanc was good as well. It was slightly acidic with an apple flavor. There was also a slight earthy flavor. The chips and wine paired very well together. The lime in the chips and acidity of the wine was enjoyable and brought out nice tart flavors.


Course 2: Quesadilla + Riesling

The quesadilla was delicious, it was chicken, pepper jack cheese, and spicy bbq sauce. The bbq sauce was not too spicy but the bite was good, especially with the pepper jack cheese. The Riesling was nice and sweet. There were lots of fruit flavors, such as orange and peach. When paired together, it was great. The spiciness of the quesadilla with the sweetness of the wine was very enjoyable. I thought the chicken flavor was brought out through the wine. The sweetness of the wine contrasts really well with the umami of the quesadilla. 


Course 3: Vanilla Ice Cream + Prosecco

The ice cream was good, a simple classic flavor. It was vanilla bean which makes it even better. The prosecco was very refreshing and not acidic in smell or flavor. There was a slight sweetness to the prosecco and there were A LOT of bubbles. When paired with the ice cream the combination of the creaminess from the ice cream and the bubbles from the prosecco was really interesting. It felt almost as if the bubbles multiplied by a lot. I got a bit of a coffee or smokey flavor when the two were paired together also. I would have this combination again.
