Lots of Food & Wine Things Happening in LA
The best wine I've had in a while + KBBQ & natural wine!
This newsletter is a couple days late, but I’ve been so social lately, I haven’t had a chance to write hehe. Here’s what I’ve been up to in the wine (and food) world:
Origin KBBQ opening party — they have a natural wine list!
Neighborhood Winery opening party — Pali Wine’s new natural wine bar in the Arts District is sexy, moody, and their wines are beautiful! Highly recommend stopping in for a glass of the Blood Moon (I still think about the 2021 bottle I had) and the Loveland Sangiovese!
Snaxshot x Gopuff party - just fun to eat and drink and mingle.
A La Carte At the Table Interview (thank you Ali, I’m so honored! Ali’s newsletter and instagram are one of the chicest things you’ll ever see.)
Continuing to socialize tomorrow at my Wine Meet Up with Silver Lake Pool & Inn— come hang out!! I’ve curated a special list for the evening and they’re all $15 a glass. We’ll have heavy pours, smol bites and big vibes! Tell your friends!
What I Ate & What I Drank with It
French Pet-Nat Chateau Peyrat with banchan and short rib. YUM!! I’m ready to go back and relive this.
Light, dry, crisp wines are great for pairing with all the spicy and pickled flavors of KBBQ — sparkling wines will especially help these flavors stand out.
**if you prefer something red with your kbbq, I might recommend a very light, simple red wine ~ complexity might weigh you down in this case since the food is so flavorful and powerful.
The Best Wine I’ve Had in a While
This is the best wine I’ve had in a while. Naked Red, Heinrich from Burgenland Austria. The grapes are fun: Zweigelt, St. Laurent, & Blaufrankisch! Super light but super savory! It reminded me of a smokey gazpacho soup with chili flakes and smokey salt. Definitely serve chilled, it would be a great afternoon wine on the patio with friends and things grilling on the bbq.
Putting this on my spring wine rotation all season long.
Sneak Peak!
Because I love you (and I want you to come hang with me on Thursday!) here’s a sneak peak of my wine list for Silver Lake Pool & Inn, including what I would pair them with!
