Cooking dinner in the slow cooker is already an easy way to prepare a comforting evening meal. These slow-cooker dinners are even easier because with three steps or less, these dishes will be simple to prepare. Delicious recipes like our Slow-Cooker White Bean, Spinach & Sausage Stew and Slow-Cooker Arroz con Pollo (Chicken & Rice) are worth the wait.
In this post, which will be quite long, I will describe how I plan and organize the wine pairing dinners, how I pair the wines, how I prep, and how I serve. All of this so you can have a head start, and know what you are getting into, when you decide to host your own wine pairing dinners. I will try to be as complete as I can, but please feel free to ask any questions.
A wine pairing dinner is about trying different wines with a dish to see how the dish affects the enjoyment of the wine and to see which wine works best with the dish. If you pour carefully, you can pour 16 small glasses out of a regular 75 cl wine bottle. And so for a wine pairing dinner it is best to have a group of between 12 and 16 people, as this allows you to serve two different wines with each course at a reasonable cost. With more than 16, the pours will become too small to be able to taste the wines properly with and without the dish. With less than 12, assuming you finish the bottles, the amount of wine will become too much and also the cost per person will rise.
Since it is a wine pairing dinner, it is nice to taste a substantial number of wines. So serving only three courses with two wines each would perhaps be a bit scant. On the other hand, there should not be too many courses either as it is not the primary intention to get everyone very drunk, the amount of food should not become too large, and it should be manageable to serve all the courses in one evening. And so I have been serving five or six courses, and that has worked very well for me. With this number of courses, there will be 11 or 13 different wines to be tasted (including aperitif), the dinner will last all evening and the amount of food and wine is reasonable.
Although not strictly necessary, it is nice to work with a theme. The theme should match with ingredients that are in season. If you have a substantial wine collection you want to source the bottles from, the availability of wines that match the theme is also a good way to pick the theme. As described in the previous post, I have done themes focussing on a certain region with dishes and wines from that region (Burgundy, Piemonte), themes focusing on a certain cuisine (Italian, Asian), or themes focusing on a certain category of dishes (meat, fish, seafood, vegetarian).
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warn that eating foods high in fat, cholesterol, or sodium can be very bad for the heart. So, when taking steps to minimize the risk of heart disease, diet is a good place to start.

Valenzano's non-traditional feel and unorthodox take on the wine industry is what attracts so many new wine drinkers to their tasting room. Nobody wants to visit a hoity-toity wine tasting where the Wine Tender makes you feel uninformed and uneducated. At Valenzano Winery, the Wine Tenders will answer basic questions about the wine and admit that the key to enjoying wine and food is to \"find a wine you like, find food you like, and most importantly find a person you 'like' that you can share them with.\" We leave our competitors the chore of over-thinking wine into more than it should be.We attribute the success of our tasting room to our casual and approachable interpretation of wine tasting. We do not get caught up in meaningless accolades and 'group think' regarding wine. We make wines that we think consumers will enjoy, share and be able to afford. We produce every day table wines to reserve oak-aged blend. Valenzano is known for setting trends - not copying them!Valenzano Winery currently has over 35 wines that are available for sampling and purchase at our tasting room facility. 153554b96e
