Arugula Salad
The arugula salad with caramelized onions, brown sugar walnuts, pears, and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures, making it an ideal accompaniment for Viognier. The lively floral aromas and light, expressive character of Viognier complement the salad’s fresh and vibrant elements. The wine’s complex flavor profile, featuring ripe fig and apricot notes, harmonizes beautifully with the pears’ natural sweetness and the caramelized onions’ depth of flavor. The sweet, fruity intensity of Viognier, leading to a long, silky finish with butterscotch and candy undertones, provides a balanced and enjoyable contrast to the Gorgonzola cheese’s savory richness. |
