Wine Parings for Corned Beef and Cabbage.
It’s that time of year! Corned beef and cabbage season! If you are wondering what wines go best with this classic Irish meal you are in the right place.
First, let’s take look at the meal:
Corned Beef:
- A little fatty (not a big deal)
- Pretty salty (as long as you’re not adding any it’s alright)
- Tasty as hell!
Cabbage:
- Turns out so nice and tasty, if you do it right it gets a little buttery taste to it.
Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, etc.
- These are here to support the awesomeness that it the Corned Beef.
- Nice “filler” food.
So…what wines go best with this meal?
None. Be a man, grab a Guinness.
