White Wines Chablis
Chardonnay
Chardonnays from California, Chile or Australia—are delicious with fish like salmon or any kind of seafood in a lush sauce.
Light seafood dishes seem to take on more flavor when matched with equally delicate white wines, such as Pinot Grigio or Arneis from Italy or Chablis from France.
Sauvignon Blanc
Tangy foods won’t overwhelm zippy wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Vinho Verde from Portugal and Verdejo from Spain.
Champagne
Most dry sparkling wines, such as brut Champagne and Spanish cava, actually have a faint touch of sweetness. That makes them extra-refreshing when served with salty foods.
Other Whites Riesling is a crisp, clean wine with green apple, pear and lime flavors. Riesling pairs nicely with spicy foods, poultry and pork. Try it with Thai food.
Libbey® Briossa Wine Glass 16 oz (Case of 12) # 0252787
Pinot Gris typically makes rich wines marked by a bit of spice. Sample either style with seafood and pasta dishes, vegetarian food and poultry.

Red Wines
Bordeaux
California Cabernet, Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style blends are terrific with steaks or chops: Their firm tannins refresh the palate after each bite of meat.
Pinot Noir
Recipes made with ingredients like mushrooms and truffles taste great with reds like Pinot Noir.
Burgundy
The great Burgundies, both red and white, are un-blended wines made from a single grape variety. The grapes used are: Pinot Noir (red wines) and Chardonnay (white wines).
Syrah
Other Reds Sangiovese is the wine grape that makes Chianti, a tremendous food wine with flavors and aromas of cherries and rose petals. Nebbiolo is the grape variety that
makes Barolo and Barbaresco, the noble (and pricey) red wines of the Piedmont region of Italy. With age, flavor notes of plums and cherries are enhanced by flavors of smoke, tar and roses.
Malbec is a star in Argentina, where it produces inky wines with an attractive smoke and leather quality. It also stands out in Cahors in southern France.
Malbec, Shiraz and Côtes-du-Rhône are big and bold enough to drink with foods brushed with heavily spiced barbecue sauces.
Tempranillo is a famous grape of Spain, where it is used in wines of the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions.
Gamay makes the fresh and fruity,
raspberry-flavored wines of the Beaujolais region of Burgundy.
Zinfandel has found its home in
California, where it produces big, fruity, often spicy red wines.

turn your holiday menu up a notch
Ethnic flavors dominated this year’s National Restaurant Association Culinary Forecast. In the ethnic food category, Peruvian cuisine was tops, evident by the number of new restaurants and spurred by continued interest in the ancient grain quinoa. Rounding out the list: Korean, Southeast Asian (Thai, Vietnamese, etc.), regional ethnic, and “ethnic fusion” (Malaysian). Diverse flavors from around the globe are also popular in breakfast dishes (think chorizo scrambled eggs and coconut milk pancakes) and a variety of kid’s meals. An ethnic spin can transform ho-hum holiday dishes into fantastic fare. The season provides an abundance of opportunities from breakfast, appetizers, and main courses, through cocktail parties.
Cocktail parties present an additional opportunity to experiment with ethnic food; set up food stations where guests can travel the world through small bites. Gourmet small plates and snacks highlight the quality of their ingredients’ flavors in small, shareable portions. By using Asian, Mexican, and other global accents, favorite small-plate flavors can be further elevated. Pairing ethnic flavors is also rising in popularity. For example, ingredients such as lime and cilantro that are common to both Asian and Hispanic cuisines serve as a natural flavor bridge. Mexican fare continues it’s popularity for any food course. Hispanic foods and beverages appeal to a wide variety of consumers and mainstream food processors have taken note. Many are adjusting their product mixes to meet more sophisticated tastes. For example, moles, the national dish from Mexico, can serve as a show-stopping, special main dish.
Street food (thanks to food trucks) and small plate trends can tantalize the more adventurous eater as well as entice those with wary palates. Open up their horizons with familiar or easy-to-share foods including appetizers and finger foods, sandwiches and dips (hummus, tzatziki and salsas).
The holidays are for celebrating with family and friends; inspire new traditions or embrace old ones by traveling abroad through food this holiday season.

Recipe Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. 2. Zest orange and set zest aside. Juice orange into a small pot. Add ¼ cup of the sugar to the pot and bring lightly to a simmer. Remove from heat. 3. Immediately add chocolate chips. Stir in chips until chocolate melts. 4. Stir in cubes of butter until fully incorporated. Set aside. 5. In a mixer or hand held, whip eggs with the remaining sugar on high for approximately 5 minutes; the eggs will be thick and pale yellow. Add orange zest. 6. Fold in chocolate mixture to eggs lightly and evenly. 7. Sift flour over mixture and fold in. 8. Scrape mixture into a greased 9" cake pan or spring form. 9. Place pan into a roasting pan. Place roasting pan in the oven and fill with hot water to fill halfway up cake pan. Bake for 1 hour or until firm to the touch. 10.Remove cake from the oven and place on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Turn out cake or remove from spring form. Garnish with additional zest, orange sections and toasted nuts.
Recipe Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Combine ¾ cup sugar and 1½ tb water in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand. Cook over medium high heat, gently swirling the pan occasionally but not stirring, until light amber, about 5 minutes. 2. Remove from the heat and arrange the fruit in layered circles over the caramel. Drizzle with the syrup, set the skillet aside. 3. With a handheld or standing mixer beat butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs, one egg at a time, continuing to mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 4. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in three batches, alternating with milk; do not overmix. Carefully spread batter over pears, using a spatula to make sure it is evenly distributed. Bake until top of cake is golden brown and edges begin to pull away from sides of pan, about 45 to 50 minutes; a toothpick inserted into center should come out clean. Let cake cool for 5 minutes. 5. Run a knife around edge of pan; put a plate on top of cake and carefully flip it so plate is on bottom and pan is on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
