Perfect Seasonal Produce And Wine Pairings For Summer - Forbes
Summertime is a favorite season for food lovers. Plates are colorful, dishes are fresh, and the produce is so inherently delicious that it hardly needs cooking – perhaps just a light char or delicate seasoning to make flavors pop. Which wines, then, will best complement the fresh summer fruits and vegetables overflowing in CSA shares and farmers’ markets?
Early summer, like spring, is all about the greens, with baby greens and Swiss chard in abundance, while riper, sweeter produce like tomatoes, corn, and peaches hit the markets as temperatures peak. It’s difficult to go wrong with a crisp yet soft white wine in the summertime, but each type of vegetable or fruit has its own, unique flavors, and all produce changes depending on preparation.
