Pinot Braised Short Ribs
Did we mention we love fall? Here’s another reason: Slow-cooked, braised mains like this incredible Pinot Braised Short Rib recipe from our friends at TeeWii Online!
I’m a fan of every season for different reasons, but I have to say I have a soft spot for fall. I love the cooler weather, comfort food, pumpkin EVERYTHING, changing leaves and red wine. I can’t think of a better way to usher in fall than to host an intimate dinner party for friends, complete with a gorgeous fall tablescape.
In designing my short rib recipe, I wanted to feature the flavors of La Crema Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. This Pinot Noir inspired my inclusion of pomegranates, espresso, orange zest and bay leaves to enhance the flavors of the wine. The meal and the wine were the absolute perfect pairings and my guests raved about how wonderfully they complimented each other.
Flickering pumpkin votives set the tone for an intimate dinner party.
The spinach salad with pomegranate, avocado and oranges in a balsamic dressing complimented the citrus and earthy notes of the pinot.
