A Perfect Pairing by Chef Alex Bensen

A rich, creamy and savory bite with a touch of sweetness, paired with 2024 Rombauer California Zinfandel.

At Rombauer Vineyards, food and wine are best enjoyed together and shared in good company. Inspired by summer in the Wine Country, Chef Alex Bensen’s perfect pairing is generous, approachable and created to bring out the best in every sip and bite.

The Bite

Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam brings buttery, creamy richness to the bite, while uncured bacon jam adds smoky, savory depth and a touch of sweetness. Chives provide a fresh finish, and the Everything Spice Bite adds crisp texture and layers of toasted, aromatic flavor.

The Wine

The Zinfandel’s generous fruit and vibrant character complement the creamy richness of Mt. Tam and the savory-sweet bacon jam. Its fruit provides contrast to the salty, smoky elements, drawing the different flavors of the bite together beautifully.
