This week I am planning to try these dinners with my family, along with the accompanying wines:
Pecan roasted salmon over wilted spinach
Couscous
Fruit salad
Wine Pairing: Kenwood Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc
(Purchased at Spec’s Liquors for $9.46)
I have made roasted salmon with a spicy rub many, many times. This week my husband asked me to try try a new pecan rub he picked up at the store. We’ll see how it goes!
Peppered pork tenderloin
Garden salad
Baked Potatoes
Steamed Broccoli
Wine Pairing: Cellar No. 8 Ei8ht
(Given to me to review by Cellar No. 8. This wine retails for less than $10.)
This is another very simple meal… I’ll even confess that the pork tenderloin is pre-seasoned, so all I have to do is pop it in the oven. I’ll use the crockpot for the potatoes, which makes this a perfect meal for after a busy day.
I’ll be sure and report back with photos to let you know how each meal and pairing goes…
Have you enjoyed either of these wines? What other wines would you pair with these dinners?
