Yorkville Wine Pairing Recipes

2023 Sauvignon Blanc

An intriguing celebration of fruit and spices, with notes of white peach and passionfruit, this Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for light, fresh dishes.

Recommended Pairing: Grilled Shrimp Salad

Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- Lemon vinaigrette (lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper)
Preparation:
- Grill shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper until pink (2-3 minutes per side).
- Toss greens, avocado, tomatoes, and onion with vinaigrette.
- Top with grilled shrimp and serve with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Why it works: The wine’s white peach and passionfruit notes complement the bright, zesty flavors of the shrimp and lemon vinaigrette, while its light body balances the salad’s freshness.

2021 Cabernet Sauvignon

A medium-bodied wine with smooth tannins, spice, and toasted walnut aromas, this Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with hearty, savory dishes.

Recommended Pairing: Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb

Ingredients:
- 1 rack of lamb (8 ribs), frenched
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation:

- Mix rosemary, thyme, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
- Rub paste over lamb and roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare.

Why it works: The wine’s smooth tannins and toasted walnut notes enhance the lamb’s rich, savory flavors, while the spice complements the herb crust.

With its deep, vibrant crimson hue and captivating aromas, Carmenere entices the senses with a symphony of blackberry, plum, and subtle hints of spice. It is a varietal that displays a remarkable balance between velvety smoothness and bold structure.

Recommended Pairing: Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Ingredients:
- 1.5 lb flank steak
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For chimichurri: 1 cup fresh parsley, 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, 3 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Preparation:
- Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Blend all chimichurri ingredients until smooth.
- Let steak rest, slice against the grain, and serve with chimichurri sauce.

Why it works: The wine's bold structure and spice notes pair perfectly with the grilled meat, while the blackberry and plum flavors complement the herbal freshness of the chimichurri.

2021 Malbec

Experience understated yet seductive notes of blueberry preserves and dark cherries. Our 2021 Malbec reveals in the distinctive characteristics of this varietal, with a deep, dark color and elegant fruit-forward aromas.

Recommended Pairing: Beef Empanadas

Ingredients:
- For dough: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cold butter (cut into small pieces), 1/2 cup cold water, 1/2 tsp salt
- For filling: 1 lb ground beef, 1 small onion (finely chopped), 1/2 cup green olives (chopped), 2 hard-boiled eggs (chopped), 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until browned; drain excess fat. Stir in cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, olives, and eggs.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness, cut into 4-inch circles, place 1-2 tbsp filling in each, fold, and seal edges. Bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 20-25 minutes until golden.

Why it works: The wine's fruit-forward aromas and robust texture enhance the savory, spiced beef filling, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.

2022 Cabernet Franc

Refined yet full of character, our 2022 Cabernet Franc opens with lifted notes of red cherry, dried herbs, and a delicate smokiness.
