For the 2020 Sweet February I unfortunately did not have time to organize an event like in 2019 ( if you want to take a look about the 2019 Sweet February just click here) but I did not abandon the sweet wines in February for that reason. Those who know me know that I never abandon them!
So for my 2020 Sweet February I decided to try an experience, allowing a pairing with a moderate consumption: I opened on February 1st one bottle of Sauternes and kept it all the month and more: the same bottle, opened, a month and a half during, for different occasions. The perfect way to test and taste different wine pairings.
The reason I chose to do this experiment is to talk about the great conservation of theses wines and to talk a little bit about cooking.
For the experience I chose the 2006 of Château Guiraud, from Sauternes appellation (note that this article is written freely without any partnership). If you want you can try this wine it is great. But the experience should also bring you very good results with your favorite Sauternes, as well as other appellations like Loupiac, Monbazillac, Coteaux du Layon…
