Will it be bitter, sour, sweet, or tangy? Will it be Indian, Asian, French, or Mexican? Amateur chefs across the country are invited to submit their favorite original recipe for the Rías Baixas Albariño food and wine pairing contest. This year, contestants will try to please the palates of talented celebrity judges including winner of Top Chef Season One, Harold Dieterle. So, put on your little white toque and get cooking. We dare you.
Although Rías Baixas Albariño wines are traditionally paired with seafood, this delicious grape's crispness beautifully enhances the flavor of almost any ingredient, giving contestants a wide range of cuisines to match with this chameleon-like wine. |
