Wine Pairing

Ibi Wine Skin-Contact Vidal 2019

Revel Cider’s wine-focused project, Ibi, uses winemaking techniques in craft cider with poetic results: think piquettes, vermouth sodas and ciders with offbeat spices, like sumac and hyssop. Its canned Skin-Contact Vidal wine-cider hybrid features vidal grapes from Beamsville, Ont. (typically used in sweet wines), with a splash of tangerine cider added at the end. The result is crisp, tropical and temperate; it’s bone-dry with whiffs of yuzu and satsuma wrapped in honeysuckle. It’s the perfect foil for salty meats, like prosciutto, which love orange. Plus, the relatively low alcohol by volume (10.5%) and single-serving format is perfect for a weeknight in. $7.50, Revel Cider.

Kitchen Tips

1. Don’t have pappardelle on hand? Fettuccine, tagliatelle or any other broad-noodle pasta will work just as well.Follow package directions and cook until al dente.
2. Chicken scallopini may also be sold as “thin sliced chicken breasts” in grocery stores.
