Fall is here and the end-of-year holidays are rapidly approaching. With that in mind, LDV Winery Tasting Room invites wine lovers to slow down and savor the flavors of the season — through wine and pie! On Saturday, Nov. 23 and Sunday, Nov. 24, the Pie and Wine special will be offered so guests can get a taste of the holidays and learn how specific wine and pie flavors complement one another. Pairings include: Pumpkin Pie and Chardonnay or Viognier Pumpkin pie is a staple for fall and pumpkin spice flavoring has taken on a life of its own. This humble classic, which often appears at Thanksgiving feasts, pairs ideally with a crisp, fruity chardonnay. Pecan Pie and Pinot Noir or Grenache The complex layers and savory nature of pinot noir is the perfect accompaniment to a slice of rich, nutty pecan pie. A cabernet sauvignon would be a nice complement to this dessert as well. Apple Pie and Riesling Whether choosing a dry or sweet Riesling, its acidity can cut through the richness of apple pie while its white grape flavors complement the sweet-yet-tart apples of this pie. Sauternes and Moscato d’Asti are also fine pairings for apple pie. Sweet Potato Pie and Syrah or Red Wine Pair a slice of sweet potato pie with a light- to medium-bodied dry red wine, which can enhance its complexity. A light pinot noir, with notes of herbs, spice and cherries or currants would be an excellent choice. The Pie and Wine pairing includes a glass of wine and a slice of pie for $15, plus tax and gratuity. LDV Winery’s Peggy Fiandaca is available to discuss and demonstrate these pie and wine pairings for television segments, during which she can also showcase award-winning LDV wines.
