WHAT ARE YOUR SMOKED FOOD & DRINK PAIRINGS?

Smoked Salmon seems pairs well with the smoky, flinty minerality of Loire Valley wines, such as a Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. Dry Rieslings from Alsace or a Riesling Kabinett from Germany are great pairings as well. If you’re a beer drinker, try pairing Czech style Pilsners, such as Upstreet Commons or Steamwhistle . Pastrami pairs well with bold flavours like a Pale ale or an IPA. For wine, I like Mourvèdre (known as Monas- trell in spain). Good examples include Goru Organic ( 07720Z, $17.80 ) from Spain or Cline Ancient Vines Mourvedre from California. Hard ciders are a great match with smoked ribs. If there is a lot of heat in the rub, choose a sweeter cider such as Somersby Pear . For wine, try Riesling or Gewurztraminer. Cocktails made from Calvados (Apple Brandy) or cognac would also pair well.
