Culinary Adventures with Camilla

  We recently did this exercise for #ItalianFWT and I enjoyed that theme. So,  for the third French Winophiles' event of 2021, I am inviting the #Winophiles crew to explore indigenous or typical grapes from France with me. The twist: find a bottle of French grapes that are cultivated and made into wine somewhere else around the world.  I asked them to look at French varieties made into wines around the globe. Examples might be Cinsault but made in Chile; Semillon from Australia; or Négrette made in California.  I asked them to be creative. And they did. Here's the line-up for this weekend.

Jill of L'Occasion features Rhô...

Or if they wanted to share their favorite (grape) wines that they pair with Asian cuisine, that's wonderful, too.  The #WinePW Explorations An Affordable and Aromatic Gewürztraminer Paired with Red Thai Curry by Crushed Grape Chronicles Asian Appetizers Paired with Tozai Sake by A Day in the Life on the Farm Cashew Chicken With A Crisp Riesling by Our Good Life Ground Pork Stir Fry With Collard Greens by Cooking Chat Knocking off CPK While Sipping SMV Riesling by Exploring the Wine Glass Our Osechi Ryori おせち料理...
