May Wine Pairing

May 8, 2022

Calling all wine lovers! If you’re like us and are always looking for the perfect wine to go with your Feel Good Meals, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve partnered with our friends over at Assorted Table Wine Shoppe to present you with the finest wine & meal pairings each month.

We’ve selected the Bison Meatloaf as our designated meal in this month’s feature.

Assorted Table suggests selecting a Maison les Alexandrins Crozes-Hermitage ($31.99). “Medium bodied, fruit forward reds are always the way to go with wild game like Bison. This wine is a velvety & beautifully floral Syrah sure to be the perfect partner to the Bison Meatloaf.” -Josh, Assorted Table

Tannins - velvety against the palate to alleviate the richness of the meat.

Acid - rounder, bright acidity to cut through the fat content of the meatloaf. 

Fruit - red fruits, think more morello cherry.

Smoke - faint touch of smoked meats that might amp up the same character in the meat, but the nose and palate of this wine is more of a purple flower situation.

Minerality - really well structured & indicative of the region. 

Bison a slightly rich, yet leaner wild game will see its wilder elements tamed by the fruit forward Syrah—the contrasting elements provide levity oh the palate, making the entire combo feel more light.
