Wine pairing?

I was given a bottle of 2005 Palladio Chianti Saturday night. Any suggestions what to cook?

The obvious choice is something Italian, i.e. spaghetti.

But Chianti can match anything from steak to chicken, and one excellent match is a pork roast.

I would basically say, relax and enjoy, start simple, order a pizza.

But bear in mind that a good Chianti with a little age can be a complex and fascinating wine.

I might make a homemade pizza or sfincione.

The Palladio Chianti was good with Sicilian Sfincione, and it was followed by my friend's bottle of Meridian Cab Sav.

Larry, what's a Scincione?

It's an absolutely wonderful and easy-to-make dish that's always a hit. The best way to describe it is as a proto-pizza. Each diner gets a whole, round sficinione about 8 inches in diameter. Its dough is rich, fortified with milk and eggs and puffs up to an impressive height with a crispness that surpasses foccacia. On top: a fresh, uncooked tomato and onion mixture with black olives and some shavings of Parmesan. The whole construction is then baked. Served with a salad, it's a delicious meal. Yum!

Recipe upon request. You won't be disappointed and it'll become a fave to serve.
