Introducing our take-out series! If you love to eat and drink, then the greater Sacramento area is the perfect place for you, as the Farm-to-Fork Capital boasts some of the best cuisine. With so many delicious restaurants to choose from in Elk Grove and beyond, we’re here to be your guide to what pairs best with our estate-grown wines. Next up in the series is our Pomegranate Sparkling, which we recommend pairing with red curry from your favorite local Thai spot.

If you’re anything like us, then you probably spend a lot of time in the kitchen during the months of November and December, cooking and baking dishes and sweets for all the seasonal festivities. But, once the cooking and baking is done, we always relish an evening sitting back, relaxing, and ordering in some takeout from our favorite Thai spots here in Elk Grove. When we have a bottle of our Pomegranate Sparkling on hand, choosing which Thai dish we want to order becomes easy—because nothing pairs better with our Pomegranate Sparkling than spicy Thai red curry.

Our Pomegranate Sparkling is a favorite amongst our customers, and for good reason. Its effervescent bubbles and light body brighten any chilly winter day. Each glass is bursting with notes of tart pomegranate and red fruit. It’s these sweet and fruity notes that balance out the spicy heat from the curry, with the wine’s bubbles and acidity refreshing the palate after each rich bite. The crispness of our chilled Pomegranate Sparkling also enhances the complex and savory flavors found in Thai red curry. This pairing is truly a feast for your senses, and a delicious way to give yourself a gift this holiday season. Happy holidays!

NOTE: All McConnell Estate's wines are available in our tasting room or e-store.
