Chef Ogden’s Pairing Menu for Wine Oh TV

Fennel Cured Gravlax

with Gloria Ferrer Brut Rose, Sonoma 2005

Citrus and Strawberry aromas combined with crisp mineral flavors are a perfect foil for the rich salmon and subtle fennel. The hue is a match as well for the salmon.

Black Mustard Beef Tenderloin and Double Stuffed Baked Potatoes

with Duckhorn 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Aromas of ripe currant, black cherry and earth, beautifully balanced with polished perfection. A great wine from a stunning vintage that will complement the mustard and beef’s spicy and savory flavors.

Apple Crumb Pie with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

with Quady “Essensia” Orange Muscat, California 2008

Reminiscent of orange blossom and apricots, from the little known Orange Muscat grape, this lightly fortified wine (15% alcohol) has vibrant flavors, perfect with apple pie.
