On a cold night, when dark has set in early, it’s comforting to have a roast in the oven, warming your kitchen and wafting mouthwatering aromas. After hours of low and slow cooking, the seasoned exterior will be crispy yet juicy, caramelized by the heat. You won’t be able to resist pulling off a bit to take in that first burst of flavor—along with a sip of the wine you’ve chosen to pair it with.
—Georgeanne Brennan, January 2025 Club Chevalier
When we asked friend and James Beard Award–winning food writer Georgeanne Brennan to lend us her expertise in providing roastable pairing recommendations for Club Chevalier, she did not disappoint! Inspired by her delectable suggestions, we’ve assembled a sampler perfect for spending time in the kitchen this season. Georgeanne offers two adventurous Italian preparations: a Piemontese vitello tonnato to complement Langhe Nebbiolo and a bone-warming preparation of the Italian winter squash Chioggia to accompany Chianti Classico. A bottle of Perrusset’s sunny, old-vine Mâcon-Villages is hard to beat beside herb-crusted roast chicken; or, with a game bird like quail, open Bouvier’s delicate red Burgundy. For your next pork roast, add some apples and onions and enjoy with an Alsatian Pinot Gris, and Brunier’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape will sing alongside tender, sizzling, garlicky leg of lamb atop a bed of potatoes.

Where the newsletter started
Where the newsletter started
Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
