Larry Stone, Founder of Lingua Franca Wines, joins us today to tell us why his AVNI Chardonnay is the perfect pairing for salads, Thai, and more! Paint the Pairing: You've just returned from the farmer's market with the makings of a beautiful salad: heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, mozzarella, olives, red onions, and more! The acidity of salad dressing can be tough to pair with, though.. what's a guy to do?? Simply open a Lingua Franca AVNI Chardonnay - a wine bright enough with incredible acidity to hang with higher acid foods! What Makes this Chardonnay Special: One of the most versatile food pairing wines in the New World! This Chardonnay is bright, moderate alcohol, & not too fruity. It's got enough acid to pair with acidic foods (like a salad with vinaigrette). You could even have it with foods with capsaicin heat, like chiles and peppers. Lingua Franca means a 'universal tongue,' or language, and Larry believes that wine is that universal language that anyone can understand, without studying. This language of wine "brings people together respectfully to enjoy the diversity of life and love & respect one another." Larry Stone found Winemaker Thomas Savre, one of the highest skilled winemakers in the world, training at the world-famous Domaine Romanee-Conti in Burgundy. He worked under the tutelage of Lingua Franca's famed Dominique Lafon.
