But, how can you decide which dish will make the biggest
impression on your loved one? We asked six of Las Vegas' most talented wine experts for
their most passionate pairing recommendations.
Below is a bucket list of the most romantic food and wine
pairings, across Las Vegas,
course-by-course:
- Appetizer. "Beating hearts on Valentine's Day will delight in Aureole's
Roasted Beet and Black Winter Salad with shaved foie gras au
torchon and hazelnut vinaigrette. Complementing those savory notes
is a Jean-Marc Boillot Les Truffieres 1er Cru Puligny-Montrachet
2010, which offers harmonious notes of yellow stone fruits,
light floral honey and apricots with a touch of nuttiness."
– Harley Carbery, Mandalay
Bay Director of Wine
- Second Course. "Valentine's dinner is about providing
that unforgettable experience, and the inventive taste of Sage's
Maine Day Boat Scallops with hearty oxtail is a memorable
dish to say the least. To add that exclamation point, I recommend
the elegant 2011 Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir that
delivers tastes of black cherry and black fruits. When combined
with the scallops it makes for a uniquely homey, world class dish
perfect for the romantic holiday." – Nick Hetzel, Master Sommelier at Sage at ARIA
Resort & Casino
- Third Course. "MICHAEL MINA's Whole Roasted Foie
Gras is prepared table side and is one of the most decadent
dishes on the Las Vegas Strip. A glorious and classic pairing is
Sauternes from the Bordeaux region
of France. Chateau de Fargues
2001 is a delicate balance between dried apricots, honey and
crisp acidity. This is sure to make an impression on any
Valentine's date." –Jason
Smith, Master Sommelier and Bellagio Director of
Wine
- Fourth Course. "Lobster is the prototype for impressing
a date on Valentine's Day and
Heritage Steak's Spice Roasted Lobster gives a remarkable
pop by serving it with contrasting and balancing flavors of creamy
white polenta and red mustard greens. A crisp Chablis knocks this
dish out of the park and the Domaine Francois Raveneau Montee de
Tonnerre 2010 has a rounded, almost buttery texture with aromas
of honey and apple pie that perfectly accentuates the lobster."
– Ryan Voss, Wine Director
at The Mirage
- Dessert. "This holiday is all about passion, so couples
can indulge in Joel Robuchon's Passion Fruit Raspberry and Dark
Chocolate with pink cotton candy that will bring out the lover
and kid in anyone. To match the zest, I would recommend a Hungarian
dessert wine – Tokaji, 5 puttonyos, Royal Tokaji, 2008 – that will not only
balance the dessert's acidity but it will also nicely complement
the chocolate in the dish." – William
Moss, Wine Director for Joel
Robuchon's Las Vegas Restaurants at MGM Grand
