Comment on Walter Dacon 2007 C’est Syrah Magnifique: French or American Oak? by Bean

There were a number of tasty pairings that night BUT I have to say that the smoked/barbecued salmon with the Walter Dacon 2007 C’est Syrah Magnifique was the “magical” pairing of the night. The Syrah coaxed the smoke and pepper out of the salmon without overwhelming the salmon. The salmon smoothed the mouth feel and amped up the spicy fruit aspects of the Syrah. Each sip and each bite further enhanced each other.

[...] All in all, the event had a lot to offer, although next year I personally hope there is more food available for vegetarians and poultry lovers. Will any of these pairings end up on your table? Let me know! In any case, don’t forget proceeds from the event go to Beecher’s Flagship Foundation, a worthy cause which offers the Pure Foods Kids Workshop.

Comment on Walter Dacon 2007 C’est Syrah Magnifique: French or American Oak? by Vivian Mycroft

Another experiment that night was beef meatballs plain and with two different barbeque sauces. One sauce was Arthur Bryant’s from Kansas City and the other was from Texas, no doubt one I had picked up in the DFW airport.

C’est Syrah Beaux was a great match with the Arthur Bryant’s sauce with its layers of spices and not a single hint of sweetness. The other sauce was definitely tasty but did not match because it had a bit of sweetness. I like the fact that Beaux is aged in American oak and goes with a very American bbq sauce.

Comment on Gamache Vintners 2004 Estate Syrah by Turkey Sloppy Joes | deVine Table

Turkey Sloppy Joes | deVine Table — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 22:47:27 +0000

[...] We don’t play by the traditional rules that say red wine calls for red meat! A nice Washington Syrah with a balance of spice and fruit is a good option with this dish. We tried it with Gamache Vintners Syrah. [...]
