Cheers! MichByTheBottle,

Keep up the great work. I’ve found that Riesling pairs well with many hard to pair foods. Keep up the great work.

We'll have to give sparkling wine a try with our ham next time. Sounds great! I agree that Mountain Dome is an excellent sparkling choice. Cheers! Sean,

Even better if you make some kind of cheesy potatoes. I'm especially fond of the Mountain Dome Brut, but Karma also makes a great Methode Champenoise.

We really had fun with this challenge. Now you have an excuse to have another ham meal to give the Beaujolais a try with it. While we thought the Riesling paired better, the Beaujolais was an excellent choice for a red option. Cheers! Phil,

We decided to try a Zinfandel and a Dry Riesling. Both fared very well. I hadn't thought of the Beaujolais. Really, that has turned into a rather "go to" wine for us in our house. I should've thought of that! Thank you for this post.
