FOOD

Lemon Olive Oil Black Cod

Durant Vineyards’ Sauvignon Blanc is a natural match for this lemon olive oil black cod thanks to its crisp, refreshing profile. The wine’s lively acidity balances the silky richness of the fish, while its citrus notes echo the brightness of the lemon and enhance the dish’s clean, coastal flavors. It’s the kind of pairing that celebrates the season; it’s fresh, unfussy, and rooted in simple pleasures from the kitchen, where a few beautiful ingredients and a bright glass of wine are all you need.

Grilled Peach and Pinot Gris Summer Soup

This chilled grilled peach soup pairs beautifully with our 2024 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris. The caramelized peaches echo the wine’s peach notes, while fresh lemon juice highlights its bright green apple character. A touch of mascarpone adds richness, balanced by the wine’s crisp acidity and dry finish, with its subtle minerality keeping the pairing refreshing and vibrant.
