Featured Food & Wine Pairing: Chicken, Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni with 2008 Tre Nova Sangiovese

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Weekly Wine Notes From Brian Kemmerle

Bentley’s Wine Steward, Brian Kemmerle regularly offers his insight and experience to help select the perfect wine to accompany Chef Derek Ridgway’s dishes.  Here is Brian’s recommended food and wine pairing for this week!

This week’s favorite pairing comes again from the Small Plates portion of our menu specials. The dish; two cannelloni filled with chicken, spinach and ricotta, topped with house made marinara sauce and fontina cheese and baked in our pizza oven at 550 degrees. The pairing; despite the chicken, spinach, ricotta and fontina, all white wine oriented, it is the marinara sauce that carries this dish so that is what we will be matching.

Tomato sauces like red wines with fairly high acids, good fruit flavors and subtle tannins. I decided to go vaguely regional with the pairing. The 2008 Tre Nova Sangiovese. Sangiovese is the main grape found in the regional Chianti wines of Italy however these grapes were grown on the Washington side of the Columbia Valley. The grapes were then trucked to Carlton, Oregon and made into wine by the one and only Gino Cuneo, formerly of Cuneo Wine Cellars. Gino has a passion for Italian grapes and this wine is a rare and successful homage to its home country. Cheers!

Bentley’s Grill Pizzetta Paired with 2008 Firesteed Dry Rose is Brian’s Recommendation This Week

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Weekly Wine Notes From Our Wine Steward, Brian Kemmerle

Bentley’s Wine Steward, Brian Kemmerle regularly offers his insight and experience to help select the perfect wine to accompany Chef Derek Ridgway’s dishes. Visit our site to see the most current Food and Wine Menus….


The most exciting pairing on the menu this week is for the Pizzetta. Our pizza dough, made fresh daily, is topped with our house made marinara sauce, ricotta salata, country olive mix and fresh spinach. I wanted a wine to mesh nicely with the acidity of the tomatoes, refresh your palate from the saltiness of the olives and the ricotta salata and not get overtly astringent with the green flavors of the spinach. The result … the 2008 Firesteed Dry Rose. Cheers!

This week’s “Featured Pinot Noir” is the Westrey 2008 Dundee Hills Oracle Vineyard. An estate vineyard planted with a combinations of 31 year old Pommard clone and some newer 9 year old plantings of Pinot Noir on predominantly Jory soil with a streak of Nekia. This week, some most agreeable tasting notes from the winery:

“The nose invites one to taste through aromas of raspberry fruit, red currents, violets and mineral-earth notes. The entry shows bursting berry fruit, with good weight and a balanced acid structure.”

The earth notes come across as pine needles and the fruit description is spot on. Cheers!

Brian
