Michael Chiarello ... A Moveable Feast

Journey to the World’s Wine Regions and Seek Out New Recipes

Six 50ml (1.7 oz.) mini bottles

Hidden Gems chosen by Super Chef Michael Chiarello! TV host, NapaStyle founder, vintner, and cookbook author Michael Chiarello has teamed up with TastingRoom.com for this sampler of varietals and producers that may be new to you but you’ll be delighted to try. 
 
"One of the joys of being a restaurateur and vintner is that I’m constantly discovering new wines, interesting varietals and small undiscovered producers. The world is full of these hidden gems, wines you won’t find at the store but will quickly become your new loves! The grenache blanc is a refreshingly complex wine that complements seafood risotto and grilled sea bass; the Edna Valley Pinot estate wine is a favorite of mine with the season’s mushroom bounty as well as rich grilled salmon; and Primitivo, a little-known varietal, is actually a relative of my favorite varietal Zinfandel, but is grown in cooler area of northern California’s Lake County. Being a southern Italian varietal, it goes well with the spicier dishes from that region such as peppers and sausage or spicy red sauces. Try that side-by-side with the Carol Shelton Zinfandel to discover how different cousins can be! Finally, you’ll love trying Cabernet from two different parts of the world, the Mendoza in Argentina and Barossa Valley in Australia. Fantastic and fun way to sharpen your palate!" MC
