Our sommeliers suggest
Podere Castorani Scià
A red from the Pouilles region with soft tannins, supported with accents of dark fruits and spices. Bring on the pastas!

Ariane Brown Ale, Les Grands Bois
The roasted red pepper sauce in this recipe will get along with notes of toasted nuts and caramel, while light citrus flavors will harmonize with the light acidity of the cheeses. This dry taste will balance the fat of the cheeses.
