The Best Foods to Pair with Brut…

According to experts, Sparkling wines are highly versatile, food-pairable drinks, thanks to their high acidity that acts as a palate cleanser. In as much as many individuals think about complex delicacies consisting of seafood, meats, vegetable salads and so on, this can equally make a great pairing with the right Sparkling or wine. In addition, macaroni is high in fiber, manganese, selenium, copper, and phosphorus. Refined, enriched pasta, on the other hand, is a good source of iron and B vitamins, whereas cheese is a great source of calcium, fat, and protein. Additionally, this animal-derived food contains high amounts of vitamins A and B-12, not to mention, zinc, phosphorus, and riboflavin.

When it comes to luxury, we say too much is never enough, and it doesn’t get much more luxurious than white truffle. “The pungent taste of the fresh white truffle bonds with the acidity of the Brut”

If you’re on the hunt for an unexpected pairing to tempt the oenophile in your life, look no further than this high-low duo that gets raves from our wine pros. “Champagne and fried chicken are a salient and delicious pairing,” says Chef Abram Bissell.

“One of my favorite pairings with red meat is actually Sparkling Brut!” says Victoria James, beverage director at Cote. “The texture from the bubbles and bright acidity cuts through the richness of the steak and refreshes the palate in between bites.”

Fried delicacies are generally beloved sparkling and/or wine pairings, but for the ultimate crunchy-starchy enjoyment, fried potatoes with onions carry the day. Onions add a great aroma and flavor, making your delicacy to be more delicious. Fried potatoes with onions and Sparkling Brut or wine is a very healthy pairing that’s perfect for vegans.

Another unique dinner that can perfectly pair with sparkling wine is a creamy soup consisting of mushroom pieces that are fully flavored with onions, garlic, butter and herbs of your choosing whether that be thyme or fresh parsley. The mouthwatering taste of this delicacy harmonizes superbly with the exquisite taste of nice bubbly.
