The Winter White Wine Challenge

Ryan and I are off to Pike Place Market to purchase the ingredients of our Elemental Winter White Wine Challenge. At tasting and dinner parties many wine drinkers seem to believe that red wine is the only option during the cold winter months, and that white wine is only for hot days in a shaded patio. We are going to put this myth to the test by trying to pair our Argentinean whites with the hearty food of the season: wild rice, mushrooms, and rich cheeses. In the next series of blog entries, I will report on the hours we spend at the farmers market, in the kitchen, and at the dinner table trying to build the perfect winter white wine feast. It's a new decade! Let's break the old myths!
