Ask a Sommelier: What to Drink at Wo Hing General Store | 7x7

Ask a Sommelier: What to Drink at Wo Hing General Store | 7x7

What was the most surprising pairing that you've discovered?

Some of my favorite are orange wines [white grapes that are fermented on their skins, adding tannin and color]! I thought maybe I was just indulging myself by putting so many on the list, because I like to drink them so much myself. But this white wine for a red wine drinker is really the perfect pairing for so many of our entrees. For instance, the Ryme Cellars Ribolla Gialla, which has a significant tannin structure and a lot more weight, actually marries really well with those dark broths I mentioned earlier. It has a nutty almost caramelized savory edge that is perfect with our spices.
