WINE PAIRINGS FOR ROAST BEETS WITH GOAT CHEESE
as recommended by Karen Bonarrigo
- Beets are rustic root vegetables with spectacularly beautiful colors hidden inside that speak to this vegetable’s complexity
- Beets are ideal as we inch closer to summertime, and they are great additions to provide a pop of color and flavor to salads
- Raw beets have a fuller body with earthy elements with sweet notes
- The sugars in beets caramelize when roasted and reveal sweet smoky undertones
- Goat cheese and citrus vinaigrettes can be added for tanginess and textural interest in multi-layered dishes
- Recommended wines:
- Sparkling Brut (clean and refreshing Champagne alternative)
- Private Reserve Viognier (medium-bodied aromatic dry white)
- Sophia Marie Rose (dry Dolcetto rose)
- Private Reserve Pinot Noir (rustic dry red with medium tannins)
