Winter Food & Wine Pairings with Nouvie

Happy Winter from Nouvie™!

As the days remain short and temperatures continue to plummet, we gather with friends and family to celebrate the moments that bring light amidst darkness. Nouvie™ is the new way to cheers, and our de-alcoholized sparkling white wine pairs superbly with heart-to-hearts, new experiences, and of course, delicious food. Our team of home cooks are inspired by the wine's distinct, fruity notes, and we are excited for you to try some dishes that we think will bring the experience to life. 


FETTUCCINE ALFREDO


What’s more comforting (and quicker to make!) than Fettuccine Alfredo? This recipe is our go-to, and we love garnishing with a scattering of fresh parsley and a whisper of lemon zest. Fettuccine Alfredo has a reputation for being quite rich, but the parsley and lemon add a freshness that cuts through the cream and butter. Make sure to serve it with Nouvie, whose notes of elderberry and pear echo the lightness of the lemon, creating a heavenly meal for those cold winter nights. 


SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO 


Dubbed “midnight spaghetti” because it’s a speedy dish to put together after a night of service in the restaurant industry, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio is gutsy, yet simple, and pairs beautifully with the light effervescence of Nouvie. Served with some herb garlic butter? Chef’s kiss!


BRANZINO WITH CAPER-HERB BUTTER


In the mood for something lighter, but equally as comforting as pasta? Seafood, like Food and Wine’s Branzino with Caper-Herb Butter, is perhaps our favorite pairing with Nouvie as its botanical flavors work joyously with the herb butter and fresh lemon. In the interest of simplifying, we get a cut of Brazino from our seafood counter (rather than a whole fish), grill until just cooked through, and dollop with a generous heap of the caper-herb butter just before serving. 


The truth is, Nouvie pairs well with so many things – not only a luxurious pasta dish or a beautiful cut of Branzino. Winter is a time when we join together to reconnect and make new memories with those who matter most. Nouvie allows you to raise a glass to these treasured moments, and cheers to a clear mind, happy memories, and delicious meals.
