Wine is alone without food.
Harwood's two gourmet partners Judy Harwood
and Kerry Wicks have shared many of their personal
creations for pairings with Harwood wines via their
books and cards. They're drawn to the exotic
international tastes, inspired by their travels, and
Harwood's Gewürztraminer mates perfectly with spicy
dishes. Our Pinot Noir, Pinot St. Laurent and Pinot
Gris are Judy and Kerry's favourites with French
style cuisine. For lighter fare, Harwood's vivacious
Friends Rosé with its strawberry pallet is their
choice. Judy and Kerry are developing dozens of new
pairings now.

The soft and tender
tannins of Harwood's Pinot Noir
2007 and 2008 make
them very
sleek, smooth and
easy drinking red
wines that go well
with even light meats
like fish, veal,
pork and chicken.
Pinot Noir is the
natural accent for
thinly-sliced roast
beef and most lamb
recipes. If you're
planning a turkey
dinner with sausage stuffing,
treat yourself to a
glass, or two of
our beautiful Pinot
Noir. |

When pairing foods
with our St. Laurent
2007 or 2008, think "Pinot
Noir". In fact
Harwood's Pinot St.
Laurent has
very much the nose
and pallet of a fine
Pinot Noir. After
all, they do live
right next to each
other in our
vineyards and
they're members of
the same grape
family. It has a
marvelous 'cherry'
fruitiness and a
paradoxical pallet:
silky smooth, yet a
nice balance of
acidity--the Hillier
hallmark. The nose,
pallet and expansive
bouquet can take it
places usually
occupied only by a
Pinot Noir. This St Laurent
sits happily next to
more lightly
seasoned meats,
slightly
spicier foul and
dark natural
vegetable flavours. |

hot peppers

Harwood's Gewürztraminer
2007 or 2008 would
be quite a good
match
for Asian and
spicier foods, which
are often the
hardest food styles to pair with
wines. But, they are
also remarkably
good companions for
barbecued foods and
spicy chicken wings.
On the other side of
its personality,
Gewürztraminer is a
well-mannered guest at the
festive table along
side turkey, cheeses
and foie gras. |

Favoured
ingredients: Ginger,
garlic, chili,
cilantro, French
accents such as
tarragon, thyme,
saffron, mustard;
Italian flavours
such as tomato,
garlic, onion,
basil, fennel,
orange; contemporary
North American
cuisine with the
accent on grilled
foods and light
cream sauces. |
|
Harwood's
Pinot Gris 2008 is the perfect
accompaniment for
light fish. It also
pairs beautifully
with all oily
white-fleshed seafood, light
pastas, and cheese &
cracker/bread
combinations. It's
also delightful with
both mild and zesty
fruits (except,
perhaps,
grapefruit.) Pinot Gris
on its own, like
Gewürztraminer makes
a lovely sipping
wine for summertime
patios. |
