Perfect Pairings

A San Francisco Pairing from Sommelier Courtney Cochran

Bay Area cuisine shines with Asian influences, and Shanghai Soup Dumplings are a luxurious example of San Francisco’s Chinese fare. As you take a bite of these piping hot dumplings a stream of savory pork flavor bursts from the center. These special tidbits would be a hit at any election night soirée. To find a perfect wine candidate to serve along side, we asked sommelier Courtney Cochran of Your Personal Sommelier and HIP TASTES Events for a suggestion. She enthusiastically recommended an Alsatian Pinot Gris. This food-friendly white wine from the Alsace region of France offers a richness to match the unctuousness of these soup dumplings. The wine’s mild floral aroma and fruit flavors are a satisfying contrast to the saltiness of the pork belly and the recipe's earthy addition of soybean paste. All in all, a one-of-a kind harmonious experience. To get started preparing these dumplings, go to saveur.com.
