Fall is here and the end-of-year holidays are rapidly approaching. With that in mind LDV Winery Tasting Room invites wine lovers to slow down and savor the flavors of the season — through wine and pie!
On Saturday Nov. 23 and Sunday Nov. 24 the Pie and Wine special will be offered so guests can get a taste of the holidays and learn how specific wine and pie flavors complement one another. Pairings include:
Pumpkin Pie and Chardonnay or Viognier
Pumpkin pie is a staple for fall and pumpkin spice flavoring has taken on a life of its own. This humble classic which often appears at Thanksgiving feasts pairs ideally with a crisp fruity chardonnay.
Pecan Pie and Pinot Noir or Grenache
The complex layers and savory nature of pinot noir is the perfect accompaniment to a slice of rich nutty pecan pie. A cabernet sauvignon would be a nice complement to this dessert as well.
Apple Pie and Riesling
Whether choosing a dry or sweet Riesling its acidity can cut through the richness of apple pie while its white grape flavors complement the sweet-yet-tart apples of this pie. Sauternes and Moscato d’Asti are also fine pairings for apple pie.
Sweet Potato Pie and Syrah or Red Wine
Pair a slice of sweet potato pie with a light- to medium-bodied dry red wine which can enhance its complexity. A light pinot noir with notes of herbs spice and cherries or currants would be an excellent choice.
The Pie and Wine pairing includes a glass of wine and a slice of pie for $15 plus tax and gratuity.
LDV Winery’s Peggy Fiandaca is available to discuss and demonstrate these pie and wine pairings for television segments during which she can also showcase award-winning LDV wines.
