Go Rachael! Those sound delicious! First wine that came to mind after reading your recipe was Rosé from Marsannay.
Salmon loves Pinot Noir, and Rosé, and that region in Burgundy gives you both.
Funnily enough, I did have a Rosé (which is unusual for me!) but I went for a Languedoc Monrouby Grenache rosé 😊! Close to your excellent pairing suggestion 😉!
Nice! Now my mouth is watering 🤤😅... If the cost of shipping can be expensed, let me know and I can send you some local wines for you and the team!
Looks really yumm, but I'll substitute the salmon for Spanish makerel which is more common and easily gotten from the market. Looking forward to giving it a go soon! Thanks ya.
Yum!
Well.... Back to my Amazon app. Looks like I'll have quite the pantry order today. 😁
But think of all the delicious food you'll be eating this week 😉!
Yes, I need more salmon tacos in my life.
EVERYONE needs more salmon tacos in their life!
But I need them more.
Looks amazing!
