Suggested Wine Pairings for Filet Au Poivre

Filet Au Poivre, with its tender beef, rich peppercorn sauce, and buttery potatoes, calls for wines that can stand up to the bold flavors of the dish while complementing its elegance.

Best Red Wine Pairings

  • Cabernet Sauvignon (The Cult 2020) – A full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with bold tannins and notes of dark berries, blackcurrant, and oak enhances the richness of the filet and balances the peppery sauce.
  • Merlot (St. Francis 2019) – A smooth, fruit-forward Merlot with soft tannins and flavors of dark plum and cocoa complements the creamy texture of the potatoes while enhancing the filet’s depth.
  • Pinot Noir (Sea Sun 2021) – A medium-bodied Pinot Noir with earthy notes and bright acidity pairs well with the peppercorn sauce without overwhelming the dish.
  • Syrah/Shiraz – With its black pepper, dark fruit, and smoky undertones, Syrah mirrors the bold peppercorn notes while standing up to the richness of the filet.
  • Bordeaux Blend – A classic left-bank Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot brings structured tannins, dark fruit, and a touch of spice that complement the dish’s creamy and peppery elements.

Alternative White Wine Pairing

  • Full-Bodied Chardonnay (Louis Latour, La Crema) – If opting for white wine, a rich, oaked Chardonnay with notes of vanilla, baked apple, and butter can provide a surprising yet harmonious pairing, especially complementing the potatoes and asparagus.

For the best pairing, choose a bold red wine with structured tannins and dark fruit to enhance the filet’s richness, or a full-bodied Chardonnay if you prefer a unique contrast.

Suggested Wine Pairings for Chicken Marsala

Chicken Marsala, with its rich, savory sauce made from Marsala wine, mushrooms, and butter, pairs best with wines that complement its earthy depth and balance its creamy, slightly sweet flavors. Here are some ideal choices:

White Wine Pairings

  • Chardonnay (Louis Latour, La Crema) – A medium to full-bodied Chardonnay with a touch of oak complements the creaminess of the mashed potatoes and the richness of the Marsala sauce.
  • Viognier – Offers floral and stone fruit notes that pair well with the savory and slightly sweet profile of the dish.

Red Wine Pairings

  • Pinot Noir (Sea Sun) – A light to medium-bodied Pinot Noir with red fruit and earthy notes enhances the mushrooms and herbs in the dish without overpowering the chicken.
  • Merlot (St. Francis) – Soft tannins and dark fruit flavors in Merlot create a smooth pairing with the dish’s creamy and umami-rich elements.
  • Barbera – With high acidity and notes of cherry and spice, Barbera balances the dish’s richness while complementing the Marsala wine sauce.

For the best experience, opt for a wine with balanced acidity and moderate tannins, ensuring it enhances rather than competes with the dish’s flavors.


Suggested Wine Pairings for Chermoula Grilled Mahi

Chermoula Grilled Mahi, with its North African-inspired marinade of fresh herbs, citrus, garlic, and warm spices, pairs best with wines that enhance its bright, aromatic flavors while complementing the texture of the fish and the earthiness of the sides.

White Wine Pairings

  • Sauvignon Blanc (Whitehaven, Château de Sancerre) – A crisp, citrus-driven Sauvignon Blanc complements the lemon, garlic, and herbs in the chermoula while balancing the lightness of the mahi.
  • Grillo (Vigneti Zabu) – With its zesty citrus, green apple, and floral notes, Grillo is an excellent pairing for herbaceous dishes like chermoula-seasoned fish.
  • Vermentino – Known for its bright acidity and subtle salinity, Vermentino enhances the flavors of the grilled mahi and roasted cauliflower.

Rosé Pairing

  • Rosé (Minuty M) – A dry, fruit-forward rosé offers a refreshing contrast to the warm spices and herbs in the chermoula.

Lighter Red Wine Pairings

  • Pinot Noir (Sea Sun) – A light-bodied Pinot Noir with earthy and red fruit notes complements the smoky and roasted flavors of the cauliflower and couscous.
  • Gamay – Known for its bright acidity and soft tannins, Gamay pairs well with spice-forward dishes without overpowering the fish.

For the best experience, choose a white wine with crisp acidity, a dry rosé, or a light-bodied red wine that won’t overshadow the delicate flavors of the fish while enhancing the complexity of the chermoula and roasted cauliflower.
