Food & Drink | Wines & recipes to keep you warm

When it comes to the colder months in Canada, is there anything more comforting than a delicious home-cooked meal with family & friends? We have partnered together with Bodegas Osborne to showcase three of our favourite wines alongside some delicious recipes to keep you warm as the days get colder. Not only do we have some delicious recipes from Chef Andres Salomon of Barsa Taberna that you have to try, and we also created three of our own. It’s time to create delicious memories in the best way possible!

If you’re like me, you’ll enjoy a delicious meal with great company. The wide range of wines available from Bodegas Osborne (including Solaz Tempranillo & Cabernet Sauvignon, Montecillo Rioja Reserva & Montecillo Crianza Tempranillo) offer the perfect way to pair wines with delicious food experiences. So what exactly does a professional chef recommend with each bottle? Let’s take a look!

These recipes, courtesy of Chef Andres Salomon, help to showcase the versatility and playfulness of these three wines. And of course, you can enjoy them with your own recipes and special moments with friends and family. I was so inspired by the three wines that I created pairings and recipes of my own! 

 

Today on DoTheDaniel.com, I am cooking up a storm inspired by some of my favourite Bodegas Osborne wines. I’ll be sharing three recipes by Chef Andres Salomon of @barsataberna AND sharing three of my own! ??#Montecillo #OsborneSolaz #Sponsored

#Montecillo Reserva is a beautifully balanced red wine with an intense fruit flavour. A vibrant wine which pairs perfectly with rich food. To play off of this refreshing fruitiness, I opted to create a dish of grilled lamb with roasted red peppers and a simple arugula salad (recipe on the blog) ? This combination offers bold flavours that will help to keep you warm on a chilly Canadian night ? #OsborneSolaz #ad

When I read that #Montecillo Crianza Tempranillo was designed for sharing in mind, I couldn’t wait to try it with Julio. It offers brightness and a good amount of acidity – both factors that are important to food pairing! I opted to create a decadent and easy to make a rapini & sausage gnocchi in a brown butter sauce. This delicious glass of red cuts through the rich flavour and plays off the spicy and sweet undertones. The perfect meal for a romantic night in ? #OsborneSolaz #ad

When it comes to dessert, I like to offer my guests options. Rather than one large cake or pie, it’s more fun to present a tasting board such as this one. Pairing with something sweet, Solaz Tempranillo & Cabernet Sauvignon offers sensual flavours of vanilla and spice. To play with this I opted for creamy desserts including an easy-to-make tiramisu, a coconut cake with pistachio cream and Panna Cotta. Trust me when I tell you that this will impress your guests! ?? #OsborneSolaz #Montecillo #ad
