Recommended food pairings from The Som:

So I’m going through my recipe collections trying to come up with the perfect pairing for Rosè wines.   The problem was that every other recipe I looked at would work great…proving once again just how versatile Rosè wines truly are.  So I picked one, almost at random, that I think would be delightful.  Here we have chicken breasts layered with lots of Mediterranean flavors.  Honestly, this pairing works on the regional pairing level as well as the “break the meal down” level.  I do believe that a heavier bodied Rosè would work best (the Castaño from Spain in this case).  Enjoy!
