Which wine to drink to celebrate Halloween?
As the fall season sets in and pumpkins make their grand return, it's time to prepare for a memorable Halloween celebration. Whether used for decoration or on our plates, cucurbits are the stars of our fall tables. In soup, baked, or mashed, we'll guide you to find the best food and wine pairings.
Which wine goes well with squash soups?
Squash soups are a fall staple. They're rich, creamy, and often spiced up. Pair them with a lively white wine that will balance the soup's creamy texture. There are two obvious choices: Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg, with its refreshing aromas and a hint of minerality, or Gewurztraminer Chasseurs de Lune, whose spicy notes harmonize perfectly with the spices in your recipe. These wines will pair beautifully with your squash soups, bringing out their flavors and creaminess.
What wine should you serve with roasted squash?
Roasted squash is a true autumn delight, with its blend of sweet and toasty flavors. To accompany these hearty, flavorful dishes, a slightly tannic red wine is the ideal choice. Pinot Noir Rayon de Lune, with its red fruit aromas and balance, will perfectly complement the richness of roasted squash. If you prefer smoky notes to enhance the grilled flavor, opt for a Pinot Gris Grand Cru Mambourg, whose fruitiness and subtle smoky notes will pair perfectly with the aromas of your dish.
What wine goes well with squash purée?
Squash purée is a comforting dish that evokes childhood memories with its slightly sweet taste and smooth, silky texture. To bring out the best in this dish, nothing beats a fruity red wine. Pinot Noir Chasseurs de Lune, with its red fruit flavors and delicacy, is a perfect choice to accompany squash purée. The aromas of this wine will enhance the sweetness of the squash, creating a harmony on the palate that will remind you of the best moments of your childhood.
When celebrating Halloween with squash-based dishes, don't forget the importance of pairing them with the right wine to complete the taste experience.
Bon appétit!
