Talbott Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

Meditation beverages are those that are pleasant to enjoy on their own due to their nuanced and complex flavours.

A rich and nuanced red wine suits strongly flavoured game birds, and a similarly full-bodied and aromatic beer will work just as well.

Blinis are best accompanied by crisp wines with enough acidity to cut the fattiness of the food. Although your beer can also be light and fresh, malty beers also complement the buckwheat in blinis.

Mushrooms are very versatile. They go well with a variety of beverages, but generally work best with relatively mild wines and beers. Richly flavoured mushroom dishes can also benefit from more full-bodied beverages.
