Do you tweet? Do you like to talk wine? Then you will enjoy the monthly TXwine Twitter Tuesday, community discussions led by Russ Kane with Vintage Texas. Tonight the tweet-a-thon will tackle food and wine. Sandstone Cellars’ Don Pullum, Texas grape grower and consultant winemaker, will present three recipes and six wines from Texas and beyond that highlight the role of acidity in both food and wine, and discuss how acidity plays a key role in wine and food pairing.
Instruction and the selected food and wine pairings are below.
Andalusian Gazpacho
- Texas Wine: Duchman Family Winery 2009 Dolcetto Bingham Family Vineyards
- Non Texas Wine: Bonny Doon 2010 Vin Gris de Cigare (California)
Kefta Kebabs with Couscous
- Texas wine: Haak Vineyards 2008 Tempranillo Reddy Vineyard

Vanilla Ice Cream with Warm Apricot Jam

- Non Texas Wine: Quady 2009 Essencia (California)
We hope our Twitter friends will pick up one or more of the wines, possibly even prepare one or more of the recipes, and participate in September’s TXwine Twitter Tuesday.
