Wine Pairings for all Seasons
January 12
2021In the Spring of 2020, SIP Certified was slated to an intimate wine pairing meal with Chef Ian Adamo of Paso Robles. Of course, things changed and the meal pivoted to a virtual event, allowing Adamo the ability to provide more options for pairings based on the amount of time and money one has to put together a meal with wine. The concept is truly evergreen with wineries able to use these pairing suggestions throughout the year. Developing recipes to pair with your wines creates another medium for your customers to interact and appreciate your wines.
Be it through social media channels, email messaging, or through printed collateral, let these pairings be a resource for for your own content pieces:
