WHAT'S COOKING, GOOD LOOKING?
One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at Sometimes Always is "what wine pairs best with...?". Our resident wine lover, Andrew Potter, provides his top pairing picks to compliment your culinary conquests.
“I love salt and pepper tofu. For, me its my go-to comfort food. This dish calls for something fresh and zesty, and I think an Off-Dry Riesling is an unlikely hero for this dish. This one by Alpha Box & Dice would be a perfect choice. The subtle sweetness balances the salty, peppery kick of the tofu, and high acidity keeps things light and the palette cleansed.”

“A beautifully charred steak and a bottle of wine is one of life’s great pairings. These bold flavours need a wine that can keep up. Enter this Sangiovese by Le Ragnaie …. Its medium body, dusty tannins and bright acidity cut through the richness of the steak, while those cherry and herb notes play off the tangy, garlicky chimichurri in the best way possible.”

“For this classic dish, think pink! A crisp, full bodied Rosé like Rainbow Juice from Gentle Folk would be a perfect match in my eyes. Pairing beautifully with the creamy dressing, bacon, parmesan shavings, crunchy bits and of course savoury chicken, offering a bright, fruity contrast to the bold flavours.”

“Seafood Paella deserves something in the glass as vibrant as the dish itself. Albariño is your go-to here, this skinsy number from Moorak, with its citrusy freshness, minerality, stonefruit mid-palette and lovely chewy texture. All working in harmony with the seafood, saffron and smoky flavours of the paella. A new twist on an all time match.”

Moorak is making confident wines, with so much to be interested in. Here they've taken Albarino, a variety that has great natural acidity retention through its ripening phase (stay with us here) which makes it so ideal for a skin contact style. Puckeringly good, textural, bright and tropicana in its aromas.
