Beauvine Burger Concept & Pinot Noir
The wine: A 2019 Pinot Noir from ARABILIS in Willamette Valley. We’re fans of an Arabilis sparkling and almost forgot that their Pinot is great as well. It’s soft and silky, earthy and slightly floral. Light-bodied and easy to drink, I’m kind of kicking myself for only grabbing one bottle.
The food: The Lafayette Burger from Beauvine has brie, Cabernet onions, apricot mustard, and arugula was awesome with the wine. I thought (hoped) the brie would be more pronounced, but it gave a nice creaminess that, combined with the onions, felt like the burger version of something I’d pull from a cheese board to drink with a glass of Oregon Pinot. The duck fat fries were also delicious.
