Wine And Tea Party
Tea parties have been around for a long time. It used to be a traditional afternoon activity in the UK enjoyed by royalty and commoners alike. In recent years, the traditional afternoon tea drinking sessions have reached different parts of the world. It also becomes a favorite bridal shower theme. Yet aside from serving teas during this dainty parties, women also opted to serve sparkling wines to go with their delicate sandwiches, cakes, and other pastries.
Champagne is always the go-to wine during these occasions. But you can also serve other sparkling wines like the Ninth Island Tasmania Rose NV. For more unique combinations, you can also serve a wine and tea infusion for your guests to add more fun during your tea party. You can choose a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Shiraz with your favorite black tea.
Meatless Wine and Dine
It is long believed that wine is best paired with meat. But because of the rising interest in veganism in 2019, a quarter of Americans aged 25 to 34 turned vegan or vegetarians. Yet it does not mean that they could no longer enjoy drinking their preferred bottle of wine with their veggie dish. If you plan to serve earthy veggies like mushrooms, lentils, or sweet potatoes, you can pair them with rose or light red wines like Yellow Tail Shiraz. Corn also pairs well with Chardonnay, while beets taste well with either dry or sweet Riesling.
Even vegetables with complex flavors also have a corresponding wine match. An example of this is the asparagus, which you can eat with Sancerre or the Gruner Veltliner. You may also pair roasted Brussels sprouts with a dry Chenin Blanc or a Sauvignon Blanc.
