Cristina Ferrare is joining us this week as we continue to bring back Sunday Supper around the family table! The movement that has gained nationwide attention is celebrating dishes from Cristina’s fifth cookbook Big Bowl of Love. The meals have been prepared by dedicated food bloggers who are as passionate about food as I am about wine. My job, is to make sure no one goes thirsty! Here are the featured dishes and the wines to pair with them. Please join us on Twitter and Pinterest Sunday, May 20th beginning 3pm Eastern and let us know what’s cookin’ in your house!
Pinot Noir is such a food friendly wine but it can be expensive, try Calera Central Coast with perfume aromas with deep plum and dark fruit flavors. A superbly made wine for about $24
- Chicken Marsala with Angel Hair Pasta The Primlani Kitchen
- Spaghetti and Meatballs Juanita’s Cocina

From the famous French wine producer E. Guigal; their Côtes du Rhône blanc is a welcome pairing for these dishes. This mostly Viognier blended wine has floral aromas that lead to a mineral mouth-feel and a dry finish. A quality wine for about $10

- Chicken Picatta Over Pasta Family Foodie
- Fall Off The Bone Chicken Thighs Lovely Pantry
- Risotto with Fresh Peas and Asparagus Big Bears Wife

Cabernet Sauvignon is such a chocolate friendly wine. Try to find BR Cohn Silver Label for about $17, rich full berry flavors with a hint of vanilla, it’s one of my favorites!
- Flourless Chocolate Cake Baker Street
- Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Mrs Mama Hen
♥
Sparkling wines are often served as an apéritif, but I love them with desserts. Lunetta Prosecco from Cavit has fresh fruit aromas and a touch of lemon flavor with a clean and crisp finish. $12

As far as I am concerned… your wine pairings are the best part of #SundaySupper… thank you Eileen!
Thank you Isabel! A meal with out wine is just not right!!
I was looking at the Chicken Picatta recipe this morning via twitter. Now I know which wine to serve! Thanks, Eileen
Hi Trish! I’m glad you stopped by today! Let me know which Cotes du Rhone wine you found, and how it goes with the Chicken Picatta. The pricing on Cotes du Rhones are fabulous now, grab them while they are still very reasonable! Cheers!
Prosecco sounds perfect w/ the strawberry shortcake! I learn so much reading your posts – more than once have I stood in front of a wine display wondering which one would go best w/ what we were having.
Thank you Sofie! Try to remember the different wines you’ve tasted, really remember the flavors and aromas, then imagine the flavors of the dish you’ll be making and wine pairing becomes so much easier. Also, when in doubt, open 2 bottles! We do that alot and discuss which pairs better, then save the other one for the next evening (if it makes it to the next day that is!!) Cheers!
Thank you for the beautiful wine selections! I love reading your blog. I always learn something!
Thank You!! I chose Pinot Noir for your Spaghetti and Meatballs as a bit of a departure to the ‘go to Chianti’ with most Italian dishes. I do like a Chianti, but I adore Pinot Noir!
Cheers!
Thank you so much Eileen for your wonderful wine pairings! I can always count on you for the best suggestions and insight into wine and food. I am so glad you are a part of #SundaySupper.
Renee, I thought the most interesting of the pairings was the Risottos. They may seem like the same dish, but with the addition of seafood in one and veggies in another we can find two entirely different wines to pair with them.
Cheers!
Eileen, great diversity of wine suggestions. Way to pass along some very resourceful leads. This is what a wine blog should do — lead, educate, encourage, and enable. Good one!
Thanks Tom, I thought it would be a good idea to explain why I chose the wines I did. As we know there isn’t only 1 correct answer to any wine & food pairing, but experimenting is the fun part.Cheers!
