Win Daring Pairings for the best match
Of food with your favourite new variety
daring pairings by Evan Goldstein
Gruner veltliner, affectionately known as 'Groo-vee' by chic wine and food lovers, is the featured new variety from Evan Goldstein's Daring Pairings in April.
We've published three excerpts - a background on the wine, food matches and a recipe to suit - but you could win a copy of this book and discover even more perfect food matches for the new and emerging varieties.
In one of our favourite wine and food books, Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein carefully explains each wine variety, its main characteristics and why he's chosen the food matches he has. And of course, there's a recipe from one of his favourite chefs that brings out the very best in each particular wine. The recipes vary from Asian and Mediterranean to the classics with a selection to suit each season.
Gruner veltliner's distinctive flavour profile is not its only appeal - it's highly versatile with food and in fact, Evan says 'gruner simply craves food' He explains why and suggests some delicious matches here »
Illustrating gruner's affinity for Indian food and produce is a recipe for vegetable pot-au-feu with toasted spice broth from Floyd Cardoz of Tabla in New York City - the perfect excuse to find a bottle of gruner veltlner.
