"More important than the food pairing is the person with whom you drink the wine." - Christian Moueix
When I initially started capturing my home recipes, many of you asked how I pair my wine with my meals. Well, today I'm introducing a brand new series to the blog - "Cork & Fork". I'll be taking my popular recipes that you all have loved and pairing them with wines from some of my favorite local wineries.
To kick this series off I'll be featuring a Scallop Risotto - one of my first recipes on the blog. Also, the most recently popular Surf & Turf dish! Also, I'll be pairing these yummy meals with wines from Rosemont Winery, in sourthern Virginia.

Rosemont Winery is one of my favorite wineries in Virginia. G recently surprised me with a day trip to visit this lovely little spot in southern Virginia on Valentine's Day weekend. We fell in love with all of their wines, which is a very hard thing for us to do. Not only did we enjoy our experience, but the staff is phenomenal. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Aubrey Rose, the Director of Sales and Marketing. She is nothing short of fantastic and so kind. Aubrey and her husband, Justin Rose are fellow Cavaliers! They started Rosemont almost ten years ago, and will be celebrating their estate's anniversary this Fall. Their motto is "budbreak to harvest". All of the wines are 100% estate grown.
This winery is a hidden gem in Virginia, and we cannot wait to return this Spring!
Today I'm sharing what wines we took home from Rosemont. It is rare G and I take home more than four bottles from a vineyard. This time around we took home seven bottles, and are absolutely thrilled with our picks!
