[Comfort Wine]

The world is now a global village and what we eat to comfort us has very often been influenced by traditional cuisine integrated into our own after centuries of migrant influx.

In the USA for example, if the recipes originally brought by the “founding fathers” mixed with local products became the annual celebration of American comfort food for the Thanksgiving dinner, today the comfort food dishes brought by Americans since then from all over the world have become original frontier crossing recipes.

But which wines do these multicultural dishes pair with? There is no “heritage” that dictates wine and comfort food matching, but at Torres we can now offer you a wide range of wines that will pair perfectly with your favorite, most comforting food.

For example: pair your Thanksgiving meal or Sunday Roast with our ATRIUM MERLOT adding a bunch of ripe Mediterranean red fruit to your glass. And if you prefer white? ATRIUM CHARDONNAY with just a hint of oak ageing will lighten the whole meal.

Macaroni & Cheese, spaghetti with meatballs, and chicken parmigiana celebrate Italian heritage. Combine with real Spanish heritage: IBERICOS our tempranillo from Rioja.

Crab, shrimp, tuna patties and other Cajun recipes mix French and Afro-American roots with products from the Gulf of Mexico. To refresh your mouth with the hot spices of Cajun cuisine, or on the flipside even those originating from some countries around the Indian Ocean, try our popular VIÑA SOL or also the elegant Sauvignon Blanc, FRANSOLA.

From chicken noodle soup, to all forms of meatloaf, Shepherd’s Pie and slow cooked meats and beans, these are all great with full tasting Garnachas such as GRAN SANGRE DE TORO or SALMOS.

And don’t forget apple, pecan or pumpkin pies. These deserve a sweet finishing touch: MOSCATEL FLORALIS desert wine.

All these dishes not only heat up our bodies during the cold season, they bring special warmth to our hearts and souls.
