Black Cod in a Saffron Sauce Paired with a White Wine from Provence

October 10, 2025

Some cooks shy away from cooking fish because they think it’s complicated. But this dish with Black Cod is elegant, and not at all difficult to prepare. Searing the fish is super easy. And, once you have made a beurre blanc, you know there is nothing to it. Okay, maybe a little timing… but if …

Osso Buco A Delicious Recipe Variation With Provencal Flavours

October 3, 2025

While Osso Buco is traditionally an Italian dish, I experimented with the ingredients to suit a wine pairing with a 2016 Château de la Tour de l’Évêque vintage.

A Surprising Côtes du Rhône Villages Food and Wine Pairing

May 18, 2023

Very rarely do you come across a Côtes du Rhône Villages so incredible that it might as well be a Gigondas wine. However, in this case, the red wine that we used in this wine pairing from Paul Jaboulet Aîné (2020) is a nice upgrade. It is big and bold, rich and intense, and it …

Try this Provencal White Wine with Salmon

April 20, 2023

As we turn our thoughts to spring, some foods and wines come to mind immediately. On the food side of things, my mind turns to spring vegetables: asparagus, peas, and fava beans. For wine, I find it time to leave the wintry red wines for a while and focus on the crisp, bright, floral whites. …

Easy Grilled Halibut and a Provencal Wine Pairing

October 14, 2022

The thing is, we weren’t planning on grilled halibut for dinner. But sometimes, that is how things go when you get to the grocery store, and they don’t have what you had planned. In most cases, that isn’t too complicated a switch, but for this meal, we had planned a cooking and wine pairing with …
