recipe Salad & Wines: Perfect Together! Writer Stephanie Maher Palenque
Believe it or not, there was a time when experts said that wines and salads don’t go together, and when eating a salad it is best to drink mineral water! Well, times they are a ‘changing! Even though sometimes it might be a bit challenging to make the right marriage between wine and salad, when you do, love is in the air! For instance, try this signature salad from Eddie V’s in The Scottsdale Quarter, with a Gruner Veltliner (grape) from Austria. According to Ryan Schwartz, COO for Quench Fine Wines, “The wine has the backbone of acidity to stand up to all of the vegetables, but it is still light and crisp on the palette.”
