Food and Wine
by Carol Bancroft on August 30, 2007
Here's what the panel learned from this tasting.
•Most of our winning wines were dry, crisp, clean and refreshing; this style cuts through the rich, fatty fish and matches with a wide variety of sushi, including vegetarian rolls.
•Two wines with an oily texture and richness also fared well, matching nicely with the fatty fish and extending the flavors in the mouth. These wines also went well with barbecued-eel sushi.
•Winners were characterized by aggressive fruit but no residual sugar. Wines with ripe fruit worked well when balanced with acidity.
•Some great wines with subtle or delicate fruit failed. Although beautiful alone, they were stripped of flavor when paired with sushi, soy sauce and wasabi.
•Red wines proved tricky. Although not versatile enough for a wide array of sushi, a fruit-forward, complex, full-bodied merlot is worth seeking out for barbecued eel, mackerel and fatty tuna (toro) sushi.
