Fantastic Food and Sozo Wine Pairings
Our greatest nightmare would be to hear, "The wine is OK, but I bought it for the kids." We do not tell restaurants the good the wine provides until they have said they like the wines and think they are a good value. Then we share what Sozo means and what the "5 Meals" means. We are distinct in that we tell folks exactly what the purchase of the wine achieves; 5, 10, 15 or 25 meals. No one has to wonder. Every glass provides 1 to 5 meals. We are the only winery I know that has wines that have won Best of Class, Gold Medals, Silver Medals, and even a Bronze at the top International Competitions which were crafted specifically to food those in need.
- -Humanity Riesling paired with Canlis' Jason Franey's Chilled Peach Soup. Made it for my son's rehearsal dinner. The flavors and the weight are a perfect match.
- -Potential Pinot Noir with Tilikum Place Cafe's Ba Culbert's Duck Confit with White Beans.
- -Abundant Mourvèdre Blend with Sazerac's Jason McClure's Roasted Poblano, Arugula, and Anchovy Salad topped with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. Absolutely killer! Made for my son's rehearsal dinner.
- -Generosity Syrah Temparanillo Blend with South Carolina Rubbed Ribs. Rehearsal dinner again.
- -Contribute Cabernet with Bizzarro's killer puttanesca sauce on their homemade pasta.
- -Bountiful Bordeaux Style Blend with Bone-In Rotisserie Leg of Lamb with grilled green onions and organic carrots, dipped in Coterie Room's Brian McCraken and Dana Tough's smoked Romesco Sauce.
- -Balance Rhone Blend with Boka's Boka Burger, Truffle Fries, or Spicy Tomato Soup.
I received samples of these wines, and made a donation to Food Lifeline to provide an equivalent number of meals as if I had purchased them.
