This month the #WinePW writers are highlighting BIPOC winemakers. I am featuring an Iranian immigrant who settled in McMinnville, Oregon. Read my post "From Tehran to McMinnville: Maysara's 2015 Jamsheed Pinot Noir + Joojeh Kabab with Mast-o Khiar" https://www.culinarycam.com/post/maysara-joojehkabab Thanks to Cooking Chat for hosting. Great topic!

I love trying new wines! The latest I cover on Cooking Chat is a white Greek #wine made from the Kydonitsa grape. My contribution to a Wine Paring Weekend blogging event on the theme "New to You Grapes".

Have been tracking different grape varietals for quite a few years...harder to find new ones after crossing the 300 mark!

Get the details on this interesting wine and our pairing for it here: https://cookingchatfood.com/wine-with-tzatziki-dip/

For the new-to-us #WinePW event this month, Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm shared a fantastic dining experience she had at the Firestarter Casino where she tried a Cortese/Gavi wine. I actually have a bottle on my shelf. Now I might just have to make a sea bass with risotto to go alongside.

Susannah Gold of Avvinare poured and paired a Vernaccia Nera for the #WinePW new-to-us grapes event.

So much fun to learn about this grape and the sparkling red wine she poured.

Today I hosted the #WinePW group as we explored new-to-us grapes. David Crowley of Cooking Chat, our group's founder, shared a white wine made from the Kydonitsa grape in his post: "A NEW GREEK WINE WITH TZATZIKI DIP"

Today I posted an article on some great Cabernet Sauvignon pairings we've enjoyed. Including recent highlights, like this Mira Napa Valley Cabernet paired with roasted sirloin topped with local shiitake mushrooms.

Beef & Cabernet is a natural pairing, but we've got some other ideas to share, too!
