“The wines of Sweet Bordeaux are incredibly complex and extremely versatile. This category has no limitations on what it can be paired with and it has endless possibilities when it comes to being creative for both cocktails, food pairings, and as a main ingredient for a dish. Here are some of my favorite pairings...”

Spicy Indian food. These wines cool the heat and help bring out the flavors of the food.

Empanadas. The sweetness of the spices in the beef filling really goes well with the concentrated fruit of the wines. Kung Pao Chicken. Absolutely love it! The lower alcohol of the Sweet Bordeaux wines really helps to accentuate the spicy and intense aromas and flavors.

Cured meats. Sweetness of the wine and saltiness of the meats - love that pairing, great combo. Unbelievable. Thanksgiving dinner. Sweet Bordeaux is the perfect wine to cut through fattiness of turkey, compliments sweet potatoes and balances the tartness of the cranberry sauce.”
