Marek is requesting your help! As many of you know, Marek is from Poland. He is very interested in creating food and wine pairings using traditional Polish dishes and Chatham Hill wines. As you can imagine, most Polish dishes are meant to be enjoyed with Polish vodka, but Marek is working with Chef Albert at Frazier's Wine Bar to create traditional Polish dishes that will pair well with Chatham Hill's wine. Is Chatham Hill wine up for this challenge? That's where you come in. We have very educated consumers walk through our doors everyday including our very knowledgeable wine club members! Below, you will find a list of the dishes Marek is trying to pair with Chatham Hill wines. Have you enjoyed any of these dishes with any Chatham Hill wines? What worked? What didn’t work? Maybe you know of another traditional Polish dish that pairs well with your favorite Chatham Hill wine. If so, please leave your comments below. Marek would like to hear from you, and if you leave your email address, Marek would love to speak with you further about your ideas.

I am not up on too many Polish dishes but I did enjoy your Chardonnay with some pan seared panko breaded flounder and lemon infused Carolina short grain white rice and steamed broccoli. I seasoned the flounder with Old Bay, salt and pepper and lightly seared it in a few tbls of EVOO. The lemon/lime nose of the Chardonnay and the clear crisp finish was perfect with this dish.
