WINE PAIRING
Jezreel Pet Nat Sparkling Rosé 2019
This wine is bottled before primary fermentation is complete, this creates the light sparkle and means that the wine still contains some leftover yeast. These bread notes will pair with the fresh brioche while the fresh fruit aromas will interplay nicely with the savory flavors in the tofu.
WINE PAIRING
Koenig Riesling 2017
This mineral-driven, high acid Alsatian Riesling will cut through the fattiness of the Kampachi while complimenting the salinity of the roe. The golden color, subtle stone fruit, and floral undertones will accentuate the honey notes in the dish.
WINE PAIRING
De La Rosa Lev St. Laurent 2016 (Organic)
This St. Laurent (Zank Low-rent) has subtle earthy undertones that will accentuate the savory, smoky accompaniments. This lighter-bodied red won’t overpower the tartare while the fruit and lower tannins will counterbalance the spicy harissa. This wine has no added sulfites.
WINE PAIRING
Gito Uphaz 2017
This blend of Semillon and Sauv Blanc is aged on it lees for 4 months which really underscores the minerality of this wine. The fresh fruit and acidity are a perfect pairing for the pickled and fruity flavors running through this dish.
WINE PAIRING
Nevo Merlot 2014
This powerhouse of a wine with its stewed dark fruit notes and edge of sweet vanilla will interplay with the umami flavors of the dish and gamey notes of the duck.
WINE PAIRING
Dalton Anna
This solera method dessert wine has notes of caramel, dried fruit and citrus rind which is a perfect match for this updated babka.
WINE PAIRING
Dalton Anna
The seasonal fruit salad will also interplay nicely with the sweetness while the creamy finish will be reminiscent of the sabayon.
