Wine for Hearty Winter Fare


It’s that time again.  No, I’m not referring to the holiday season; I’m referring to the season of soups and stews.  I was reminded of this a couple weeks ago when my mother called me.  She had just poured a glass of wine to go with her turkey noodle soup when my father told her that wine didn’t go with soup.  My Mom is really determined, and she really wanted that glass of wine.  So, of course, she decided to call me in to referee.
Sorry, Dad, but Mom wins this one.
In fact, soups and stews generally pair beautifully with wine.  Well, they pair nicely if you’ve chosen the “right” wine.
