Comments on: Veggie burgers – impossible food-wine pairing?!? http://www.drvino.com/2012/04/02/veggie-burgers-wine-pairing/ wine talk that goes down easy Sat, 18 May 2013 23:46:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: EricT http://www.drvino.com/2012/04/02/veggie-burgers-wine-pairing/#comment-380330 EricT Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:18:25 +0000 http://www.drvino.com/?p=10715#comment-380330 I’ve eat and make alot of veggie foods and indian foods, I would recommend any of the following: dry lambrusco (if heavy), loire valley rose for spicier dishes, marsannay rose for less spicey, and i’ve had alot of luck with certain Bordeaux blancs and rousanne/marsanne blends from either the Rhone or the USA. For meat based Indian stuff, thats easier to pair with.

I like them chunkier and more crunchy than the TJoes(Morning Star?) version.
It has been a while since i had a veggie burger, however I prefer Boca Burgers. i paired it with a 2008 Barbera which was unbalanced. Not a recommended pairing.

But it was worth flagging the recipes because the one that I had was good, so a little more use-value than the “virgin boy eggs.” ;-)

Good call, Mike. Have you had the Bengali Tiger? If not, crack one open (they come in 16 ounce cans)! Thanks for mentioning that blogger list!

Congrats on this:

Too much cayenne / heat? Or was it the ginger? From the recipe it sounds like it could have worked with a wine one might pair with Indian cuisine, such as riesling or Lambrusco.
