Pairing: Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes

One of my favorite dishes is crab cakes. I like them made mostly of crab with very little “cake.” So when PairCraft asked me to find the right wine to pour alongside this recipe, I gladly accepted the challenge. As I discovered, the key to pairing with this dish is working with its inherent richness and toastiness.

Pairing: Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving! It’s all about gathering together, cooking, and feasting. Planning the meal can be stressful. Even if you’re confident of the dishes, there’s still the wine. What do you pour to satisfy everyone? To answer that question, I ate Thanksgiving early this year, working with PairCraft to find the right wines for a classic holiday dinner. As it turns out, there are some great choices to please a crowd.

Pairing: Garlicky Fire-Cooked Lobster

I pour wines at Le Bernardin, the three-star Michelin seafood restaurant in Manhattan. It’s a pleasure because I love seafood—particularly lobster, especially broiled or grilled, when the sweet meat gets complexity from savory char. When PairCraft asked me to do a blind taste test to find wines with the best personality for such lobster, I jumped at the chance.

Pairing: Spaghetti with Broken Cherry Tomatoes


Spaghetti with a sauce of fresh-cooked cherry tomatoes is so elemental, easy, and delicious. All the dish needs is the right wine to bring out its bright, sweet flavor, without erasing its richness. My PairCraft mission was to find that wine.
