Comfort food is great all year round but it just tastes better when it’s cold and snowy outside. So here are a few wine suggestions to go with your favourite comfort dishes on these last winter days.<\/p>\n
A warm, home-made lasagna is hard to beat. You might have already heard that\u00a0what grows together, goes together<\/em>, so a red Italian wine would be a great pairing choice. \u00a0Chianti has the acidity to match the tomato sauce and the fruit flavours to hold all the delicious layers of cheese and noodles. For a less obvious choice, try a Montepulciano D\u2019Abruzzo, in many ways similar to a Chianti, but with more earthy and herbaceous notes for you to discover.<\/p>\n Poutine is perhaps the quintessential Canadian Comfort food, but not always an easy one to pair with wine. A Pinot Noir from Prince Edward\u00a0County or the Okanagan\u00a0Valley\u00a0has the freshness, the fruit and the earthy notes to complement the richness of the gravy and the cheese curds.<\/p>\n If Mac & Cheese ranks high on your list of comfort foods, try pairing it with a full-bodied white wine \u2013 a creamy<\/em>\u00a0wine for a creamy dish. A California Chardonnay would be the safest bet, however, if you feel like daring into slightly less familiar territory and you haven’t tried a Viognier or a Marsanne, a decadent Mac&Cheese is the excuse you were waiting for!<\/p>\n John Carrolo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Comfort food is great all year round but it just tastes better when it’s cold and snowy outside.
