In Honor of Meatless Mondays: Vegetarian Wine Pairing-Uncork This!
In the latest edition of Veg News, there is a small article discussing the quandary a Plant Based eater may face when trying to pair a fabulous wine with a fabulous vegan meal. Unlike our omnivore friends, plant based eaters don’t get to follow the age-old rule of “red is for meat and white is for fish”. So simple for the meat eaters, except it just doesn’t sound quite right when put into veggie terms. Can we really say “red is for seitan or texturized soy protein and white is for tofu and tofurky”? Selecting a wine to pair with your food can make a meal spectacular, or spoil the flavor of both the meal and the wine. Have no fear all you wine loving vegans, Denis Cotter, owner of Café Paridiso, serving seasonal and vegetarian fare in Ireland of all places, has put together some very easy pairings for us to rely on (along with some help of some wine experts). You, my thirsty friend, do not have to be wine expert to get the basics down.
