FOOD
Red Wine-Braised Beef Short Ribs
This red wine-braised beef is a study in patience and restraint. At Amaterra, chuck tail flap is seasoned a day in advance, seared until deeply caramelized, then slowly oven-braised in red wine with aromatics until fork-tender. The braising liquid is strained, reduced, and finished with butter and fresh herbs, creating a sauce that’s rich yet refined—comforting, but unmistakably wine-driven.
Braised Short Rib and Hand-cut Pappardelle
The plush dark fruit and warm spice in DANCIN's 2022 Sorella Barbera mirrors the richness of the braised short rib, while its natural acidity lifts the dish and keeps each bite balanced. Notes of black plum and subtle oak complement the savory sauce and fresh pasta, making this a seamless and comforting pairing from first sip to last bite.
