- kwolstenholm - 01-25-2006 Hi, I'm hosting a dinner for friends. I'll be serving grilled/bbq Korean beef and traditional side dishes such as kim chee and other spicy pickled vegetables. I don't drink, but would like for my guests to have something nice to wine to accompany their dinner. I was considering these two wines: - Covey Run Gewurztraminer '04 - Bonny Doon Pacific Rim Dry Riesling '04 Does anyone have any comments/suggestions on these? I was concern that the wine might be too sweet for the salty and spicy food? My friend also recommended a red shiraz? Is this a good match? If so, any recommendations would be much appreciated. I usually get my wines at Beverages and MOre since it is easy. Thanks for your help [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] [This message has been edited by kwolstenholm (edited 01-25-2006).] - winoweenie - 01-25-2006 Ho K and welcome to the board. Personally I've nerver found a wine that was compatable with Kim Chee. Maybe some of the other members could help. I always drink beer with Korean. WW - Kcwhippet - 01-25-2006 Have some wineo friends who regularly serve Korean dinners (wife is from Seoul), and their wine of choice is Syrah/Shiraz. They're not too picky about which they have, except not the really huge, extracted Syrahs from small CA producers (Red Car, Radio-Coteau, etc.) |
