WineWorld, 😀what brings joy to your sips and bites?
It’s fascinating how weather can influence our wine choices, making certain varieties more appealing depending on the season. As the warmth of summer approaches, our taste buds transition from indulging in rich, full-bodied wines, perfect for cosy chilled days, to seeking out refreshing summer wines to quench our thirst. 😅But hey, not today!
Today, I chose to give the body what it asks for – and that is a Chilean plush red blend,🍷the Cabernet Sauvignon from .official. Paired with a juicy cheeseburger🍔. Picture the delightful dance of flavours as I savoured the beef patty, bacon, double cheese, and caramelized onions alongside sips of this well-oaked 2018 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon Carménère, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. What’s not to like?🤩
The experience was downright 😋lips-smacking, and amidst the Perth heatwave, it surprisingly provided a welcome reprieve from the external heat.
There are definitely general guidelines for season and wine pairing, but they are simply guidelines, and ultimately we should drink whatever we like. Because, if it brings us joy, it’s the right choice. Keep this in mind when your ultimate goal is to strike a balance between the wine, the food, mood, season and the atmosphere, all while keeping your tastebuds and soul pleased. Till next time, .
🍷Until then and always, Sip and Savour Mindfully! Cheers!
