Château Margüi Rosé Wine Pairing
Today’s wine and food pairing for Provence WineZine is one I approached with some trepidation. I was confident that the Château Margüi rosé wine would be good (okay, excellent), and I knew the recipe well enough to be happy with it. But together? I just wasn’t sure. I certainly didn’t expect a full-on tug-of-war, but I had no idea it would be one of my favourite pairings in recent years. Go figure.
The recipe for cauliflower gratin includes many Provençal flavours — and is a delicious vegetarian entrée or side dish. Pairing wines with cabbage-y things was probably the starting point for my reluctance, but the match was excellent.
