A Taste of Syrah
Many know the grape Syrah (or Shiraz in Australia) for bold red wines. A client reached out for a wine/food pairing event of Syrah wines from around the world. I was happy to oblige by designing a five-course meal with wine pairings for a private dinner party. The foods were chosen to enhance and complement the flavors in Syrah: black plums, blackberry, blueberry, black pepper and savory earthy notes. I also incorporated umami flavor notes where appropriate. Syrah wines were chosen to highlight different climatic influences and old/new world differences. An alternative to Syrah with similar fruit and tannins was included as well as a sparkling Shiraz. Contact me to learn how this food/wine pariring might be a fit at your next event.
Syrah wines are loved by many around the world.
