Cork & Fork: Classic Summer Pairings

"I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food." - W. C. Fields

Now that the warmer months are here, I tend to eat a lot of grilled foods and delicious salads! Today, I am pairing my favorite grilled lemon pepper wings and avocado salad to two amazing white wines. Typically, I am a red wine drinker, but when I'm relaxing in my backyard and soaking up the sun - a crisp white wine is my ultimate fave.

Below are my favorite pairings, and I'm matching these two dishes with wines from Total Wine.

Uncorked: Rosemont Winery

"Good wine is a necessity of life for me." - Thomas Jefferson

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!
