The dream project from Washington state wine pioneer Allen Shoup, Long Shadows is something like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones getting together to jam. In other words, nine world class winemakers from around the world contribute to the various labels under this impressive umbrella to create knockout varietals showcasing Washington state’s Columbia Valley fruit. Gilles Nicault, a native of the Rhone region of France, is the able ringmaster of this incredible effort and has been from the get-go. He’s whip smart and fun to watch on Reels, too.

Try pairing Chettinad Chicken Curry from Chili’s South Indian Cuisine, Seattle. Why it works: Spicy South Indian food? Dry-style riesling all the way! The 2019 Poet’s Leap Riesling has complex floral and tropical fruit flavors. The wine’s laser-sharp acidity and just enough residual sugar is an excellent match for flaming hot South Indian chicken curry, providing much-needed relief in between bites. The Matar Paneer (cottage cheese with peas) is a great option for vegetarians or for those who like their food mildly spiced. You can segue seamlessly into dessert territory with this vino – we highly recommend their Gulab Jamun.

SIP Magazine - Taste of La Dolce Vita!
Sangiovese, a quintessentially Italian grape, evokes so many more images than just Chianti, the delicious cherry-hued Tuscan wine for which it is best known. One could even say that it is symbolic of the good Italian life. Think Sangiovese, and rows of manicured cypress trees, undulating hills, and Renaissance architecture come unbidden to mind.
Prost - It's Riesling Day!
Native to areas along Germany’s Rhine River, Riesling is an aromatic white wine that bursts forth with notes of orchard fruit and flower blossoms. Essentially spring in a bottle, this wine is meant to be savored and celebrated. Today, we intend to do just that!
