On-the-Go — Windy City Wine Guy | Michael Bottigliero

Paired up parm crusted Coho salmon with @firesteedwinery #willamettevalley #PinotNoir and it’s a #PerfectPairing. Rich omega fattys with acidity, ripe red fruit, so tasty. Do this at home- for the crust combine butter/Parmesan/garlic/parsley/breadcrumbs and top off salmon, cook for 20 min @ 400 F. Bon appetit! .

Nothing beats a Sommelier coming to the party with a cheese tray! Created this for an event last Saturday- Grass fed Isigny Ste Mere Brie (paired with Cava), @cypressgrovers Humboldt Fog chèvre (for Sauvignon Blanc), herb Feta & olives (for Provence Rosé), Comté (for Pinot Noir), Piave Vecchio (for SuperTuscan), Gorgonzola Dolce & chocolate (for Banyuls) .

Hit up @journeymandistillery for some #whiskey libation and ran across this flight- try 5 different types for only $6. A gorgeous restored space in the old Featherbone Factory. Good food items sourced from local purveyors- pork rinds, cheese/charcuterie, Detroit style pizza, burgers, etc .

Had the best #Ramen of my life at @ramentakeya- it’s a must stop in #Chicago. This is the Miso Bold & Spicy- rich and delicious with pork belly, egg, noodles. Also the fried chicken buns are insane! I enjoyed it all with @pipeworksbrewing Blood Orange Guppy. Cool little spot- looks like you’re on a street in Japan .

At his amazing little #CoffeeShop Joy cooks Saturday-Only #ThaiFood which is crazy good & huge portion. Choose Green or Red Curry (green in picture) or Thai Basil Stirfry with chicken, tofu, or pork- only $8.75 (includes tax). Ask for Rick all week long for #coffee creations @joycafe31

Taco Tuesday featured poblano ground turkey tacos and 2004 Clos Abella Priorat (Garnacha & Carignan aged 20 months). Dark fruit, spice, hints of cocoa and licorice- perfect for this dish!

My @gooseisland allotment from my Local connection- glad to get some bourbon stout!

Lemon caper chicken with cous cous and garlic asparagus paired up with @monterossafranciacorta - so perfect when the acidity melds with the butter in the sauce, toastiness combines with the Italian bread crumbs, and the citrusy fruit cools the black pepper.

It’s been 27 years since I was in Florida for Thanksgiving - last time was while I was serving in the US Navy at NTTC Corry Station Pensacola and eating Old Country Buffet. I am so thankful to be spending it with family this time in a beautiful resort. And thank you to all the brave men & women serving today who are away from family. 🇺🇸

Slim pickings with @instacart at @publix but I went with @chateaustemichelle red blend ($20 and BOGO!) while I watch @chicagobears #Thanksgiving #Football. What are you drinking this holiday?

Hawaiian pork loin with @vinatabali #PinotNoir for the Bottigliero-Gomes pre Thanksgiving bash. We need to do this every year! @helloleticia @blagica @philgomes #homecooking

Enjoying Hangar steak 🥩 with @la_spinetta #Barbera #CaDiPian at @knightsdowntown #AnnArbor

Lo and behold, a lady who loves @Franciacorta in Michigan because she knows great #sparklingwine when she tastes it! @emilypostspics thanks for the love!

Dropped off these @berlucchiwine ‘61 beauties for a pot luck Friday lunch at @the_escape_pod. Always more enjoyable with Italy’s finest bubbly from @franciacorta!

Enjoying a goat cheese avocado #tartine at @leaoakpark paired with #LeGrandBallon #Loire #SauvignonBlanc for #lunch - have you tried this pairing before?
