Wines from Kobrand to Warm You Up While the Temperatures Stay Down

When winter temperatures remain frigid, nothing feels better than comforting meals that remind you of warmer times, and pairing that with a great wine makes it even better!

This summer I spent some time traveling around the Rhone Valley in France. After too many days bundled up in my heavy winter coat looking at snow, I longed for the memories of being in a sundress, overlooking a vineyard and sipping on an amazing red wine. I knew I needed to take action immediately, and as tempting as buying a plane ticket was, I settled for recreating the experience at home. I love Cotes du Rhone, and I was very excited to make the Chateau Mont-Redon Cotes du Rhone the star of my virtual trip back to France.

I grilled chicken with Herbs de Provence that I brought back from my trip, and roasted winter vegetables. I couldn’t dream of a French-inspired meal without cheese, and I thought the wine made for a great pairing. Every element of the meal brought out the berry and spice notes of the wine.

And because I was fully committed to being decadent and treating myself, I ended my night with dessert of the liquid variety. A glass of Fonseca Bin 27 port was a fantastic way to wrap up a delicious meal. The chocolate and berry flavors of the rich port left me with the satisfying sweetness that I craved. I added a small piece of dark chocolate too as the Fonseca Bin 27 really highlighted the flavors.
