dinner date wine pairings
Good call, I didn't realize I had strawberries twice... could I do a warm brie salad with mixed greens and candied pecans maybe?
seafood dinner wine pairings
I'm planning a classy dinner for my boyfriend on Saturday, and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for food/wine pairings... This is my tentative menu, but I know I should probably change some things because they don't go well together - let me know what you guys think!
Appetizer: Warm Brie & Fuji Apple Salad with Mixed Greens & Balsamic Vinagrette
Starter: Grilled Shrimp and Avocado Ceviche
Main Course: Seared Scallops with Risotto, with a side of Grilled Asparagus
Dessert: Chocolate Covered Strawberries
I have no idea what wines to get that would go well with the dishes. I'm also questioning the Shrimp/Avocado Ceviche, is it too seafood heavy since I'm serving scallops too? I couldn't think of another starter that would be appropriate. We're not big dessert people so I decided to do something light and simple, but any fun after dinner drinks that you would recommend? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

I also wanted to see if I could get a general estimate of how long it would take to prepare everything.

I couldn't think of another starter that would be appropriate. I was planning to do the strawberries in the morning and just let them harden in the refrigerator, and hopefully put together everything else in 3-4 hours.
