Welcome Guests with a Grazing Tray
Pairing: Luna Nuda Prosecco and a Charcuterie Board
Luna Nuda Prosecco pairs well with savory cheeses, but is light enough to enjoy with any appetizers. Plus, starting the evening off with a little bubbly helps set the celebratory mood for the evening and gets everyone into the holiday spirit! There are really no rules when it comes to a charcuterie board, but you can’t go wrong with a few cheeses, some cured meats, nuts, olives, and a few other fun spreads!
Kick Off Dinner with a Crunch
Pairing: Luna Nuda Pinot Grigio and Bon Appetit’s Winter Crunch Salad
Luna Nuda Pinot Grigio is light enough to enjoy with a salad course, but has a depth of flavor that makes it perfect for pairing for wintery greens. The subtle fruit notes in the wine pair well with salads that feature apples or citrus, but would work just as well with a more classic vinaigrette. Your guests will be glad they've had some greens, but make sure they save room for the main course!
The Main Event: Warm and Rustic Pot Roast
Pairing: Luna Nuda Red Blend with Company Pot Roast from Ina Garten
Most people associate red wine with dinner, so serving the Luna Nuda Red Blend with the main course is a no brainer! The Red Blend is full bodied and smooth, with balanced acidity that pairs nicely with a warm, hearty entrée like Pot Roast. Serve plated or let your guests serve themselves family style.
And Last but Not Least… Dessert
Pairing: Luna Nuda Rosé with Classic Crème Brûlée by Epicurious
Finish off your festive meal with a lighter dessert and wine pairing that no one can claim they don’t have room for. Luna Nuda Rosé has subtle notes of raspberry and strawberry that complement the warm, rich vanilla flavors of a classic Crème Brûlée. Easy to prep in advance, any family member would be glad to help caramelize sugar with a torch, or you can put them under the broiler while family clears the table.
