Fissata Sweet Red Pairing - Snickers Caramel Apples Recipe

Image
    Just in time for Thanksgiving, these Snickers Caramel Apples are the perfect, mouthwatering after dinner treat. They will stand up against any cake or pie due to the layers of flavors. You have the sweet from the snickers, caramel, and white chocolate, the tart from the green apples, and the earthiness from the pecans. Also, just holding any treat on a stick makes us happy.   We are pairing it with the Traveling Vineyard Fissata Sweet Red   Fizzy, Fruity, and Fabulous    Translucent, dark watermelon red in color, this release opens with floral, sweet-ish stone fruit over a raspberry-ish nose. A well-integrated palate of sweet fruity red berries and a nutty quality are repeated in the mouth. Gentle effervescence makes for an overall pleasing dessert wine experience.   Varietal Baco Noir, Catawba, Concord - Alcohol 5.97 - Region New York SHOP NOW What you need!

Red Blend Pairing - Turkey Chili Recipe

Image
  Chili is the perfect dish to warm you up for a crisp fall night. It's hearty, versatile, and easy to make. There are so many variations of chili, from vegan, vegetarian, white chili, stew chili, no beans, with beans, spicy, and mild. We decided to make a turkey chili with kidney beans. We paired it with 19 Crimes Cali Red. The wine is very popular because it features Snoop Dogg but it is actually a really tasty Petite Sirah/Zinfandel Blend. The wine is a full-bodied wine with deep colors and high tannins. Petite refers to the size of the berries, which are small with a high skin-to-juice ratio. The wine pairs well with barbecued meats, roasted pork, and spicy and meat chili. The 19 Crimes Cali Red has strong notes of black and blue fruits. We enjoyed it because it wasn't overly dry and had a hint of sweetness at the finish. Prior to drinking, we aerated our wine with our Magic Decanter Aerator.   Perfect aeration can be achieved in the time it takes to pour a glass. ALL THE T
