Leek-and-Pecorino Pizzas

Earthy ingredients like the truffled cheese on this pizza go well with earthy wines, like many Pinot Noirs. The Brokenwood is a particularly fine match.

Asian-Spiced Pork

Mild pork gets a triple infusion of flavor from a dry rub, a sweet-and-spicy glaze and a reduction of pan juices. The Boudau’s intensity is perfect with the deeply flavorful roast.

Lamb Chops with Frizzled Herbs

Tender lamb chops cut the tannins and bring out the fruitiness in the Subplot 22. Here, the chops are garnished with fresh green herbs, flash-fried to a crunchy crisp.

Creamy Chicken-Liver Mousse

Grape-sized caperberries are the mature fruit of the caper bush. Sliced thin, they perk up this silky mousse. This rich dish pairs beautifully with the Penner-Ash Riesling.

Crisp Salmon with Avocado Salad

Salmon makes a terrific match with voluptuous whites like the '06 Martinborough Chardonnay.

Lamb Chops with Frizzled Herbs

Quickly frying fresh herbs in a half-inch of oil makes them supercrispy and creates a tasty garnish that echoes flavors in the Chante-Perdrix.

Korean Sizzling Beef

Korean-style beef and California Cabernet make a perfect cross-cultural pairing, for which sliced beef is marinated in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and garlic, then grilled.
