'Orange Wine and Roasted Chicken'
If you don’t know what to make tonight I highly recommend Ina Garten’s roasted chicken recipe, easily YouTubed. It’s the best ratio of effort and cost to deliciousness I’ve found, and right now I’m stoked about drinking orange wine with it. Orange wine is made by macerating grape juice on the skins of white grapes. This process extracts color and tannin from the skins, making orange wine uniquely suited for pairing with moderate weight dishes like chicken and salmon. It’s a lot like white wine, often citrusy and bright. But it’s also like red wine, often tannic and showing rustic bitterness. Orange wine really shines with food that needs more umpf than white wine offers but benefits from more elegance than red gives.
