Last night I made faralle pasta with chopped red peppers, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, herb tomato dressing and parmesan cheese. It was delish! Obviously I had to have a good wine to go with it. I cracked open a bottle I recently got from my passport program. It was a bottle of white wine from Maconnais, which is the southernmost white wine producing area in Burgundy, France. This particular wine was from the Macon Villages, which are usually the best value for your dollar and are not aged in oak, so they're ready to be drunk as soon as they are released. Maconnais is also known for its warm climate and the wines have a light, uncomplicated and pleasant flavor. I have to say, the wine was very good. It was very sweet and had a beautiful golden color to it. It almost reminded me of a sweet German Riesling. I might not have paired it up with what I had for dinner again because of the sweetness of the wine mixing with the savory flavors of the onions and peppers, but it was still really good. A glass of Carmenere might have gone better..oh well! I still would recommend it!
