In honor of Washington Wine Month, we’ve developed wine and recipe pairings with our wine, beer, and spirits expert, Jeremy MacArthur. Read on to discover why he thinks these pairings work so beautifully together.
Fig Bruschetta & Seven Hills Winery Pinot Gris
“This wine features higher acidity and a clean, minerally finish that will bring out a bit more of the lemon in this dish. It will also cleanse the palate from the richness of the ricotta without wiping away the flavors of the figs.” —Jeremy MacArthur; Wine, Beer & Spirits Category Manager

Flatbread with Sweet Onions & Gorman Winery Leave the Gun Super Tuscan Blend
“This blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon brings those classic dusty tannins and notes of bright stewed fruit that highlight the caramelized onions, balance the fattiness of speck, and mellow the goat cheese without muting its funk.”
Smoked Pork Tenderloin Al Pastor & Metropolitan Market Two Vintners Syrah
“Syrah can be funky, smoky, and fruity, which highlights the pork’s smokiness. The wine’s fruitiness balances the spice blend and complements the chile heat.”
Soba Noodle Salad & Eroica Riesling
“Riesling and Asian-inspired flavors are a classic pairing. The high acid and intense aromatics of Eroica Riesling (an off-dry variety) will bring out the recipe’s herbaceous notes while brightening the lime and cutting through the richness of the peanuts.”
Plum Oat Bars & Chateau Ste. Michelle Harvest Select Sweet Riesling
“This Riesling will be slightly sweeter than the plum oat bar. The wine’s notes of stone fruit, baking spice, and heady aromatics will enhance the plums and gingersnaps in the recipe.”
Fresh Sweet Corn Cake & Browne Family Vineyards Gigi's Garden White Blend
“This blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris creates a crisp, clean wine that will showcase the sweetness of the corn and condensed milk while cleansing the palate between every bite and sip.”
