WINE MATCH: NUGAN ESTATE ALFREDO SECOND PASS SHIRAZ 2019 (RIPASSO-INSPIRED STYLE)
This Italian-inspired ripasso-style wine is bursting with raspberry, blueberry and dark chocolate notes that come alive when paired rich desserts and cheese platters.
“I LOVE A BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING, ESPECIALLY IN THE COOLER MONTHS. THERE’S JUST SOMETHING SO COMFORTING ABOUT A SWEET, WARM DESSERT WITH A BIG DOLLOP OF ICE CREAM OR CREME FRAICHE.”
