Hello fellow wine lovers!  Join Charisse and Kristi as we explore food and wine pairings in an unconventional way.  Leveraging training methods from wine certification experts, we break down a few pairing myths and explore three wines against the 5 flavors your tongue identifies – salty, sweet, bitter, sour and umami.  It’s an unconventional lesson, but fun in its own way!

With a “charcuterie tray” of sugar, salt, lemons, tomatoes, mushrooms, brie, popcorn and dark chocolate, we set out to dissect the influence of each flavor against 3 wines.

White Wine:  Texas Heritage Oaked Albariño
Red Wine:  Boeger Merlot
Dessert Wine:  Casa Mandel Boullosa Carcavelos

In Part 1, we debunk a few wine and food myths then dive into the Oaked Albariño.  Listen in to learn how each of our charcuterie options impacted the wine.  While our approach may be a little more scientific, the unconventional lesson translates to any food and wine pairing you might wish to try!  High acidity food – no problem!  Creamy pasta – we’ve got you covered.  

Stay tuned for Part 2 airing Sept 27th on Spotify, Apple Podcast and Amazon Music. Check out our Somm Women Talk Wine podcast links here! and don’t forget to FOLLOW, LIKE, SHARE with all your wine loving friends!
