Delicious Paella Recipe Served With a Rosé from Bandol in Provence

August 30, 2024

Playing around with this recipe for paella (Arroz con Pollo) took me years to perfect. Paella is a Spanish dish from the Valencian Community but is often found in Provencal markets. The exact ingredients are up to the chef, but this version was inspired by Jacques Pépin’s Arroz con Pollo, and his recipe called for …

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 …

April 20, 2023

Easy Grilled Halibut and a Provencal Wine Pairing

Château Margüi Rosé Wine Pairing

September 13, 2022

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 …

Provencal Rosé and Crab Rolls a Match Made in Heaven

July 4, 2022

Ahh… memories of our New England summers, when we lived in Maine and could amble to the end of the street to buy lobster from shops on the piers over the tidal creeks of coastal Maine… or bicycle to nearby seafood shacks for lobster rolls. Now, our ocean is the desert; vast, varied, and always …
