10-Shallot Spaghetti with Kale
"In this show, I helped Rachael and Sunny open a bottle of sparkling wine. They did great - I bet they've done it before! One point I wanted to make, but totally forgot about, is how great sparkling wine pairs with food! It’s not just for aperitifs anymore! Sparkling wine is one of the most versatile food pairing wines - it serves to cleanse the palate after you eat something rich. It’s fun, festive and usually has a good amount of acidity which you know I like. The one time I'd stay away from sparkling wine is with particularly spicy food. I've found that it increases the heat. In this case I'd try a Rosé Sparkling. One of my favorites is the Scarpetta Brut Rose NV made by Bobby Stuckey and chef Lachlan McPherson from Frasca Restaurant in Boulder, Colorado." - Joe Campanale
