Successful food- wine pairings. Quick note.
Steak Bomb Calzone & even some Hawaiian Pizza: 2008 Pennywise Pinot Noir.
wine: soft fruit, rounded, a little earthy yet kinda light. I figured it would probably work with the steak but was unsure about the tricky sweet-sour nature of the Hawaiian Pizza but it worked well. There was enough earthy but smooth nature of the wine to still work with the Hawaiian side after the sweetness canceled out.
Roasted Pork Loin with (roasted) garlic: 2008 Irony Pinot Noir: the wonderful, almost magical alchemy that happens in a synergetic pairing. As an aperitif the wine was tart, either sour cherry or cranberry viewpoint depending. With the pork, the wine became deeper, fuller. Apres dinner, over talk even with hours of aeration in the glass, the wine still retained a nice rounded, full, nature.
