Taste Our Terroir<\/strong>, 2015 edition, paired Livermore wineries and their chosen restaurant partners to create what were some memorable marriages of food and wine. This year, 19 winery and restaurant teams went head to head to win over the palates and hearts of both professional judges and the consumers who came to enjoy this annual competition.<\/p>\n

Each winery selects a wine to pair and the chefs get busy creating the perfect bite-sized dish to complement the wine.<\/p>\n

JUDGES AWARDS<\/h2>\n

Judges Best<\/h3>\n

Cuda Ridge and Posada<\/strong>\u00a0for 2013 Cuda Ridge Malbec paired with Eduardo Posada\u2019s lamb cheeks simmered in Dijon mustard and sweet pepper sauce over pepita crusted mushroom brown rice patty with garnishes.<\/p>\n

\"Vaso<\/a><\/p>\n

Most Innovative<\/h3>\n

McGrail Vineyards and Beets Catering\u00a0<\/strong>for 2014 Kylie Ryan Rose of Cabernet and Merlot paired with bratwurst sausage fried in a stoneground cornmeal batter with fresh peach chutney, house-made mustard and honey.<\/p>\n

Classic Pairing<\/h3>\n

Winemakers Studio and the Grill at Wente Vineyards\u00a0<\/strong>for 2010 Noble Roots blend paired with lightly smoked beef tongue on a sweet rye roll with a mustard of local plums and red beets.<\/p>\n

When I asked Larry Dino of Cuda Ridge earlier this year how he approaches the food and wine pairing process for this event, it was clear from his lengthy, detailed, refrigerator manual granularity that he takes this stuff seriously.<\/p>\n

And the results show. Last year, Cuda Ridge and Posada took \u201cMost Innovative\u201d from the Judges, just as they had done the prior year. To achieve \u201cBest Pairing\u201d is an honor that they richly deserve. This dish was brilliantly complex, and impressively presented.<\/p>\n

People Choice Awards<\/h3>\n

\"--LVWG<\/a><\/p>\n

As last year, the people got to vote twice: for their favorite white\/rose pairing, and their favorite red wine pairing. This at least guaranteed that there would be more whites\/roses than in the past. In total, there were four contestants in this category.<\/p>\n

People\u2019s Choice Awards for Best White\/Ros\u00e9<\/h3>\n

A tie, presented to:<\/p>\n

McGrail Vineyards and Beets Catering<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 see above<\/p>\n

\u00a0and<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vasco Urbano and Revel Kitchen\u00a0<\/strong>for the 2014 \u201cSpeck\u201d Grenache rose paired daintily to perfection with shrimp ceviche, avocado, cucumber and yuzu on taro root chip. I could eat this every day.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Vaso<\/a><\/p>\n

People\u2019s Choice Award for Best Red<\/h3>\n

Wood Family and First Street Ale House\u00a0<\/strong>for 2013 Big Wood Zinfandel matched with \u201cMoroccan Beef Tagine,\u201d braised beef in a warm savory broth with chick peas, tomatoes and onion.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the winners. That\u2019s the second year in a row that Rhonda Wood has worked with First Street Ale to win People\u2019s Choice for Best Red.<\/p>\n

\"--LVWG<\/a><\/p>\n

And now, here are some additional awards that weren\u2019t given out, but should have been:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Most Impressive Debut of A New Restaurant<\/h3>\n

Sabio on Main<\/strong>, a new Spanish restaurant in Pleasanton, showed they know how create a spot-on pairing, making a wine shine even more brightly. The 2012 Las Positas Estate Tempranillo, an award-winning flashdance wherever she appears, made merry with the torchon of Canadian foie gras (finally, a righteous use for otherwise pestlike Canadian geese \u2013 ask anyone who owns or lives on a golf course), rolled with jamon serrano and Adriatic fig compote. If this had been served in a crusty little cone, it would have been the cat\u2019s meow.<\/p>\n

Best Table D\u00e9cor<\/h3>\n

Debra Long of\u00a0Longevity Wines\u00a0<\/strong>is to be complimented for finding a lime green table scarf that precisely matched the lime green of the parsley pesto that topped the\u00a0Bridges Golf Course<\/strong>\u00a0lamb confit dish. The little bridge on the table was a nice touch, too.<\/p>\n

Most Refreshing Food Delivery Mechanism<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Auburn James<\/strong>\u00a0duck confit served on a crisp endive with blackberry reduction was not only easy to eat, it was delicious and refreshing, and the only vegetable in evidence. This pairing actually tamed the aggressively tannin-laden 2011 Diablo Rosso, a blend of Tannat and Merlot. Bravo!<\/p>\n

Most Delicious Use of A Popover<\/h3>\n

These little food delivery devices are great, when they can be made tiny and light. Filled with duck confit, gruyere, cherries, arugula and toasted almonds, these little bites created by the\u00a0Restaurant at Wente Vineyards<\/strong>, was a great front porch swing companion with the\u00a02013 Nth Degree Syra<\/strong>h.<\/p>\n

Truly Gourmet Innovation & Textural Sensation<\/h3>\n

Double Barrel<\/strong>\u00a0nailed their execution of \u201cSurf & Turf,\u201d which was divine on every level, combining Porcini-crusted and umami-glazed Ahi tuna and elk tartar with Asian slaw on a sweet potato bellini. Not only was this dish delicious, easy to eat and highly innovative, it was seamlessly textured. The velvety\u00a02012 Steven Kent Winery Home Ranch Cabernet<\/strong>\u00a0complemented the silkiness of the tartare to a \u201cT.\u201d This dish should become a staple at Double Barrel.<\/p>\n

Lone White Wolf Award<\/h3>\n

Salome Taylor of Retzlaff Winery<\/strong>\u00a0should be acknowledged for being the only winery to pour a white wine. The 2013 Estate Sauvignon Blanc was quite harmonious with the house-cured salmon, Harley Farms goat cheese, cucumber, dill and pumpernickel crumbs by Teri Tith Concannon and Denise Garcia of\u00a0Cheese Therapy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most Beautiful Label<\/h3>\n

Most artistic and striking label goes to the\u00a02012 John Evan Cellars \u201cEl Capitan\u201d Petite Sirah<\/strong>. It\u2019s a terrific wine, too.<\/p>\n

Most Surprisingly Amazing Pairing<\/h3>\n

It looked deceptively simple: a\u00a0Mario\u2019s French Dip<\/strong>\u00a0sandwich cut into two-bite-sized pieces, accompanied by a mini-cup of broth, but the flavors that were packed into this dish made it one I could enjoy over and over again. Mario\u2019s incredibly tender pork tenderloin was slow roasted Creole style with chipotle and the dip was infused with the wine, a\u00a02012 Crooked Vine Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong>\u00a0that took Double Gold at the 2015 Chronicle Competition. It was like two strangers showing up at the prom and realizing they were meant for each other.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the unexpected pleasures are the most enduring ones.<\/p>\n
