This post is a little past due, but I wanted to share a wonderful 5 course wine and food pairing lunch I hosted for my mother-in-law on Mother's Day. It turned out to be a wonderful lunch with excellent pairings.
1. Stilton Cheese with Vista Allegre Tawny Port
2. Salad greens with basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and fresh mozzarella with Salvano Gavi Cortese
3. Butternut Squash Risotto paired with Cavas de Chacras Viognier
4. Lamb chops, sweet potato puree, summer ratatouille paired with Pontval Syrah
5. Affogatto (chocolate gelato with espresso) paired with Tezza Recioto. This is the only pairing I would have changed. The Recioto's raisin flavors didn't match very well with the milk chocolate in the gelato. I might have tried the Cantine Mothia sweet Marsala from Sicily as that might have been good with the coffee flavors.
