FOOD PAIRINGS

RESERVE | FOOD PAIRINGS | EVENTS

In France, Steve was introduced to wine through food and it has always been an important element in guiding his wine style. “MacLaren wine is made to compliment, not compete, with food.” Below are helpful notes for each wine as well as a few of our favorite pairings. We encourage you to share your favorite pairings and will add them to share with our Drouthy Neebors. Bon Appetit!
