I picked up a bottle of Consecration from Russian River over the weekend, and I was wondering what I should prepare to eat with it. I was wondering if anyone had good food pairings with it. To make things more difficult, my New Year’s Resolution was to go pescetarian, so no meat besides seafood is allowed. Any and all advice or banter is desired.

Something like red wine, so perhaps salmon or ahi. Likely not a white. Might go well with scampi.

I was going to recommend salmon myself.

I might try some smoked salmon with this, going picnic.

I can also see just with apples, pears, sweet baguettes, some raw veggies and soft and semi soft cheeses from mild to robust. This beer will cut through most anything except for maybe strong garlic, ammonia (over-ripened brie) and stinky feet (Chimay cheese).

Sally Jackson makes a Goat cheese that is wrapped in grape leaves, the cheese has a very earthy and barnyardy character to it that should pair very well with the tobacco notes of the consecration.
