It’s such an honor to work closely with the DANIEL and Aquavit teams to choose wines for this event, and so much fun to see what kind of culinary creations these inspired chefs bring to the table. Of course, most aren’t exactly what most home cooks will whip up on a weeknight, but they’re great for inspiring new pairing ideas—so be sure to look below to check out the delicious dishes and shop the wines we’ll be pouring.
