Food and wine pairing: Carpaccio Vs Steak Tartare

 

Today we thought we could challenge us. On one side we have the delicate Beef Carpaccio and on the other side, we have the savory and intense steak tartare. Both raw, though!

So what to drink with carpaccio!

  •  Abrunet Negre from Terra Alta: a Good value red, sappy and easy.
  • Chateau Grand Boise Rose : A Cote de Provence, refreshing, dry and entertaining.

Now, the Steak tartare… an intense, spicy dish.

  • Lalama, a mencia blend from Ribera Sacra in Galicia. It is complex, intense but not tiring,  very fresh thanks to its atlantic influence.

  • Bourgogne Maison Fatien, a Pinot noir fine and elegant that has enough structure to stand a dish like this one. Perfumed, polished tannins, and a touch of leatheryness

  • Manganite from Vignes du Mayne in Macon. 100% gamay, a juicy but serious wine. Fresh and complex. This will be a great experience. (low avaibility)

  • Champagne Lallier Grand Cru 2008. Not the cheapest option but a great wine. Intense, muesli, honeyed and smooth texture. a lovely champagne that has enough body and personality to stand such a flavorsome dish.

As always, these are just suggestions,
