As we welcome Spring, there's no better combo to reach for than the tropical, fruity '19 Vignoles paired alongside flavorful Mexican fare from Taqueria Amor!
We are absolutely loving their Seafood Guacamole, which features grilled gulf shrimp, tender lump crab meat, and a drizzle of smokey chipotle glaze on top of their already-dynamite, traditional guacamole. When paired with '19 Vignoles, the wine's bright acidity cuts through the richness of the avocado, and its decadent flavors of peach and papaya dance beautifully with the chipotle glaze.
But don't stop there. Do yourself a favor and explore some of their other popular dishes like the Fish Tacos, made with crispy tempura-battered tilapia and a lemon vinaigrette dressed cabbage slaw, or the Coco Loco Shrimp, encrusted with sweet coconut and panko and served with a zesty chipotle mayo.
Local establishments like Taqueria Amor have been hit hard by the pandemic and are finally looking towards brighter days as restrictions begin to ease. As owner Tim Spinner explains, "We’ve pivoted so many times in so many ways. The moment the shutdown hit we became a takeout restaurant. Producing food and putting everything in boxes (rather than plating) was nothing new to us, but the sheer volume of takeout put heavy pressure on the kitchen to get everything out with such great efficiency. We added takeout drinks, additional frozen machines, a takeout window, new POS system, built outdoor cabanas, and more. Our model was adapt or die."
So when it's time for your next take out night, transport yourself to tropical paradise with a signature dish from Taqueria Amor and a bottle of Chaddsford's '19 Vignoles - and feel good knowing that you're supporting two local businesses while doing so.
And if you need even more convincing, enjoy discounts of $2 off per bottle and $24 off per case of '19 Vignoles during the month of April. Click here to shop now!
