Domaine Guindon, Muscadet, 2007 - Food Pairing
I have already reviewed this wine so for that, look for an original post. I, however, would like to share a food pairing that just was too good not to share...It is just so happened that I have a Zagat rated Peruvian chicken Rotisserie right next to my house. In fact, that place is famous enough for Tony Burdain of No Reservations fame to include it into his program about food around Washington DC region. In short, the place has the best roasted chicken I ever had in my life....But, back to the wine. The other day, while walking past this hole in the wall, I decided to get some chicken for for lunch. Naturally, good lunch just won't be complete without a glass of wine to go with a nice chicken. Few days prior to that, I was listening to a wine podcast by In Vino BFM that is a really great wine program by an Economics themed Radio BFM from Marseilles. Those guys were talking about Brillat's - Savarin inspired unusual food pairing like Sauternes with oysters...Well, I decided to try Peruvian style roasted chicken with Muscadet...Guys, this is good, I mean really good...Citrus in wine plays perfectly with spices in the chicken rub and get the fries! Screw healthy diet for a little while, it is worth it. I wouldn't advocate to do in every day, but, yet again, it'll motivate you to get to that yoga class you need to go to regardless...
