Tonight, I prepared homemade gluten-free air-fried chicken drumettes coated in a sweet and spicy Asian zing sauce, accompanied by a vegetable lo mein. To complement our dinner, I selected a White Burgundy.
While wine may not be the conventional choice for pairing with wings, I am an adventurous wino who relishes challenging and creative combinations.
I was pleasantly surprised that the wine tempered the spiciness and accentuated the sweetness of the sauce, resulting in a smooth and delightful pairing.
I encourage you to embrace your adventurous spirit, explore a diverse range of wines, and trust your personal preferences when selecting the perfect wine to accompany your meal.
Serving what you and/or your guests enjoy is most important!
My tasting notes for this evenings wine pairing are as follows:
2020 Roux Pere & Fils Saint-Aubin Les Frionnes Premier Cru Blanc
Grapes: Chardonnay
Tasting Notes: Citrus, vanilla, toast, apple, and tropical and honey notes
Characteristics: Medium bodied, acidic yet smooth and rounded with a slight creamy texture. Drinks beautifully paired with food or on its own. Also a great value for a Burgundy priced under $55.
My Rating: 4.5 / 95 points
