Wine Pairings for Dishes with Winter Squash

as recommended by Karen Bonarrigo & Merrill Bonarrigo

Wine & Winter Squash:

  • Planning your holiday menu? This is a yummy side to include.
  • Baked squash has a natural sweetness in flavor which is enhanced by sweet spices and wine.
  • If prepared savory style with herbs, grains or sautéed vegetables, it complements red wine dishes.
  • Easy pairing is always to serve the wine in the dish with the dish. In the Bake Winter Squash recipe, chef Chris uses Late Harvest Riesling.  This is a sweet wine.  Father and Son Riesling will provide the same flavor complement but be less sweet.
