Michael Chiarello ... Wines for Entertaining

Some of Michael Chiarello's Favorite Wine

Six 50ml (1.7 oz.) mini bottles

Super Chef Michael Chiarello--TV host, NapaStyle founder, vintner, and cookbook author--presents a flight of wines perfect for entertaining and sharing with friends and family. 
 
"Whether it's a simple dinner or a large party, these are great occasions to share new wines, and a diverse wine cellar is the key to effortless entertaining and perfect pairings. From the creamy Sonoma Valley Chardonnay, which stands up to the richness of a turkey dinner and its sidekicks, to the La Follette Pinot Noir for the roast meats and duck typical of many celebrations, you'll find the perfect wines for entertaining in this sampler. The two Napa Valley Merlots each offer distinct characteristics perfect for lighter meats, poultry, mushrooms and stews. And my friends the Renterias make a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon which I love for more intense and comforting foods such as wood-fired lamb chops and rich, creamy polenta. Make sure you have a selection of at least three of these wines on hand, and you’ll enjoy the bounty of every get together!" --MC
