An Easy Holiday Recipe and Wine Pairing
Pinot Noir is a go to wine for the holidays. It’s lighter body, lower tannins and bright acidity makes it very versatile and food friendly. A Pinot Noir pairs well with tuna, salmon, poultry, salad and hors d’oeuvres.
If you need a reason to open a bottle of Pinot, just give this Cranberry Sauce with a twist a try! This will be delicious with turkey, meat pies, on warm goat cheese hors d’oeuvres, and over warm brie.
You can even add it to your grilled cheese!
