White Wine

Paul Jaboulet A?né Parallèle 45 2023, Côtes Du Rhône, Rhône A.C., France: This expressive white Côtes-du-Rhône offers a beautifully lifted aromatic profile, showcasing bright stone fruit alongside zesty citrus vibrancy. Its medium-to-full-bodied texture unfolds with a generous richness, balanced by a lively freshness that carries through to a long, energetic finish. Organically grown grapes from a thoughtfully crafted blend contribute to its depth and balance. Try it with grilled salmon with herb butter or green salads with goat cheese. Food pairings: grilled salmon with herb butter, green salads with goat cheese, freshly steamed shrimp with salad.

Other Wines/Drinks

Okunomatsu Momotoro Peach Sake Sake, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan: Okunomatsu takes a playful turn by marrying its polished Junmai-grade sake with juicy peaches sourced from Fukushima’s famed Date orchards. The result pours with a faint blush and a silken, almost smoothie-like texture. One swirl releases a summertime medley: sun-warmed peach flesh, tree-ripened orchard fruits, and a cool splash of orange melon, all lifted by a whisper of delicate tea leaves. Serve it straight over ice for a creamy, dessert-like sipper, or spin it into your next spritz to add a bright, stone-fruit twist. Sushi, prosciutto-wrapped melon, or even a spicy mango salsa will all dial the fun up another notch. Sake food pairings: cocktails, aperitif, peach cobbler.
