From the Winery
While there are many in the wine industry that would have you attaining your doctorate in order to properly match foods and wine, we here at the Twisted Oak Institute couldn't care less what you pair this Petite Sirah with. In fact, throw out the rules! Live a little! Get crazy! Pour it on your corn flakes, drink it with applesauce, wash down a tuna on rye, try it without pants! We don't care!
Tasting Notes
Aromas of your rich uncle's old cedar cigar box blend smoothly into plum and blueberry explosions. When the fruit bombing stops you are left with a creamy smooth sensation of vanilla and cream. It's like Grandma's egg nog, Christmas Eve: nutmeg, cloves, allspice. There are some pert and supple tannins you'll definitely want to hang with and let soften in the glass. A wine that leaves you smiling seductively, on the inside...
Food Pairings:
Steak and Eggs! Any grilled meat, even SPAM! Or bacon... mmmm, bacon..and of course french toast...and custard donuts...mmmm, donuts...
