New, or rather, improved series!

Not long ago I made an attempt to do a once-a-week recipe with a wine pairing. That didn't last very long because I ran out of recipes and was too lazy to search for more. Well, I made a new contact on the website where I post my photos. She takes the most wonderful food photographs and has her own weblog called "La Tartine Gourmande" where she posts photos and recipes. Once a week (or more) I'll post one of her photos which will link to the recipe, and I'll suggest a wine pairing.

This week I'll start off with Potato and Celeriac Gratin:

This dish, to me, begs for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Babich makes a wonderful crisp and citrusy Sauvignon Blanc that's not too over-the-top grapefruity. It's a fresh and lively white whose 2005 vintage was on the Top 100 Wines in Wine Spectator. With its wonderful herbal characteristics and acidity, it will be a perfect match for this recipe.

Try it and let me know what you think!
