Responsible Indulgence March 2025
a return to green…
While I am not foolish enough to fall for these spring like temperatures, I am writing this with the window open a crack, and the sounds of birds chirping outside my window. That is enough for me to want the wines that pair with green! I am not packing up the parka just yet, but my table has more vegetables, fresh salads, and the smell of the air is of the early bloomers. Bulbs are starting to push, Hellebores are flowering, and the earth’s thaw tickles my imagination. I am thinking about a beef barely soup with early spring spinach and shaved parmigiana, or maybe some roasted lamb with asparagus! I had the most divine Brussels sprouts last week from our local farmer’s market, which I roasted and tossed with sautéed pancetta and toasted pine nuts. The baby lettuces have flavor again, which in the Northeast means that winter is nearing an end. So, what pairs with green??? Here are my picks for March Madness:
2020 Domaine Les Tulleries Pinot Noir is a delightful, light, fruity Pinot that is easy and approachable.
