What food or dish should I share at my wine tasting?
I have a Pierre Sparr Grand Cru Riesling, Rene Mure Pinot Blanc, Anton Bauer Rosenberg Gruner Veltliner and Pierre Sparr Grand Cru Gewurztraminer for the tasting. What appetizers would go well with these wines?
Answers:
You are tasting various wines that are sweet, so you want to pick something that would complement sweeter wines.
1) fruit - strawberry, cantalope, pineapple, with dipping sauces such as yogart dip or chocolate sauce
2) light salad - such as fruit salad, potato salad, coleslaw, beef tomato/cheese with vinegarette reduction
3) light appetizer - broiled shrimp with mango salsa, small egg rolls with sweet sauce, fried calamari spiced with some sweeter and chili sauce, crabcakes
4) dessert - fruit cake, pound cake, marshmellow, cream brulee
5) cheese platter is actually a good choice - a variety of cheese all over the world is wonderful; also consider a chocolate platter
