KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @PrimlaniKitchen Any holiday suggestions for upcoming party planning #wine #food Pairing? #SommChat

Sandy Wasserman CS _@SandyWasserman @KeeperColl @PrimlaniKitchen I always suggest a Pinot Noir Riesling for the holiday meals, simple & they go w/ a variety of foods #SommChat

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @SandyWasserman gr8suggestion 4 #Pinot Noir & Riesling do U serve side by side and pair both TO meal or separately and why if so? #SommChat

Sandy Wasserman CS _@SandyWasserman @KeeperColl I myself drink side by side but serve others separately as others tastes differs than mine. #SommChat

Sandy Wasserman CS _@SandyWasserman Beaujolais goes well w/ holiday meals #SommChat

Rashmi Primlani _@PrimlaniKitchen Spot on Sandy! I would add Pinto Gris from Alsace to the Mix @SandyWasserman @KeeperColl #SommChat

Sandy Wasserman CS _@SandyWasserman @PrimlaniKitchen @KeeperColl Definitely #SommChat

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @PrimlaniKitchen any fav #food Pairings with #alsace #Pinot Gris #SommChat

Rashmi Primlani _@PrimlaniKitchen To Play it Safe or Simply Cause Life Tastes better with Bubbles, start and end any party with Champange #SommChat

Courtney Quinn _@Path2Wine I agree @PrimlaniKitchen I have had great experiences finishing a meal with a sparkling wine. For Thanksgiving it was a Lambrusco Bianco.

Rashmi Primlani _@PrimlaniKitchen @Path2Wine Lambrusco is super versatile sadly the superior quality isn't easily available in Florida. #SommChat

Sassodoro _@Sassodoro Best pairing I ever had was simple pasta with olive oil & truffles paired with Barbaresco. Incredible! #SommChat

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @sassodoro sounds delish do you remember the specific #wine by any chance and cut of #pasta ? #SommChat

Sassodoro _@Sassodoro @KeeperColl Don't remember the cut of pasta. Wine was from Produtorri del Barbaresco, single vineyard, but I forget which one. #SommChat

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @MarcoDeBartoli pls share some fav #food pairings you enjoy at home with your #wines both younger and older vintages #SommChat

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl wow @MarcoDeBartoli how cool thanks for the #SommChat response

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @demilove #Thanksgiving was great -and you ? any fav #Wine #food pairings you can share with #SommChat today?

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @WarrenBobrow1 any fav #wine & #food pairing over the holiday and of course you can throw in a #Cocktail pairing if U like:) #SommChat

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @sassodoro shy #SommChat peep asks - what do you like to pair with #Dolcetto vs #Barbera and why?

Sassodoro _@Sassodoro @KeeperColl For me the signature of Barbera is high acid (& sour cherry), so I like with acidic dishes, e.g., tomato sauces. #SommChat

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl follow-up ? @sassodoro N ex, paired high acid in #wine with acidic dish? Correct, can U elaborate on why #SommChat

Sassodoro _@Sassodoro @KeeperColl For both Barbera and Dolcetto, a lot depends on oak treatment, if any. #SommChat

Sassodoro _@Sassodoro @KeeperColl If either wine or food is much more acidic than the other, the less acidic item tastes flat by comparison. #SommChat

KeeperCollection _@KeeperColl @Sassodoro thanks from shy #SommChat peep!
