Wine pairing for latkes?

[Dav_d_Parta_n]

I’m bringing Prosecco to the latke-fest in my hood this weekend. Probably add a couple of inexpensive reds just for good measure.

I know this is a wine thread butI thought latkes always went with vodka

I would not use olive oil for frying latkes but use a lighter oil canola, grape seed etc.

Did they use canola oil to light the lamp in the Temple?

Mr. LeVine served them with a bottle of Raveneau when he made them for me at his house. '01 MDT if I recall correctly. Quite delicious!

We used grape seed oil spiked with a little duck fat…awesome.

I’d say something with bright acidity and regional…maybe a Großes Gewächs? I’d also second Champagne or hell…if you’re a baller. Bust out a Dagueneau Pur Sang, or his Jurancon white…

Love duck fat and taters.

I would bring big reds - Syrah and Zinfandel come to mind.

Of course. Much cheaper than olive oil!

(caveat: I’m a MOT).

Champagne with some home made latkes, yummo! It’s a great food paring year round.
