Local Winemakers pairings for Tomato Pine Mushroom Compote

Blue Grouse 2020 Quill Q Red Unsworth 2020 Pinot Noir

A robust blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Marechal Foch and Syrah. Expect to find flavours of blueberry pie and cassis on the nose and palate. The wine is juicy and slightly herbaceous, with medium tannins.

Tomato-based sauces are high acid dishes. Because of the acidity in tomatoes, a medium bodied, red wine, that matches the acidity of the tomatoes is your best option. $28.99 A light and vibrant expression of coastal Pinot Noir with a depth of flavour and complexity that impresses the most discerning of drinker. Aromas of cherry, dried strawberry with notes of dried leaves and subtle spice are complimented by flavours of dark cherry hallmark to Vancouver Island Pinot Noir.

The acidity of the tomato and woodsy, forest notes of pine mushrooms compliment the bright fruit forward mid palate of our Pinot Noir and the earthiness of the mushroom brings out the complex notes of forest floor in the wine. $38.90
