There's a classic Milanese recipe when veal shank roasted first in the flour in a saucepan with a thick bottom, and then long and gently stewed in white wine simmered together with onions, carrots, celery and tomatoes. Served with gremolata (chopped and well-mixed garlic, lemon peel and parsley). Ideal when a dish is served the next day. Served, of course, risotto Milanese (risotto cooked in chicken or veal broth, with white wine and saffron).

First tried and fell in love at first bite in Milan, the restaurant that serves the best Osso Bucco in the world (so they say and I have no reason to doubt). And though it's been about 10 years and had eaten many servings of Osso Buco is excellent, for me this dish is a special occasion and mood. I still think it's a winter food, but there was still such a case, so having the opportunity to eat Osso Buco in the summer, I abandoned this masterpiece of Italian cuisine.

If we talk about meat and wine, one of my discoveries — it was a Bessarabian lamb. This is the meat I first tried when I was at Ivan Plachkov away... don't know how it was prepared, but I can say it is one of the best lamb dishes in Ukraine. Probably vizacaya its taste quality is the quality of the local meat. Characteristics — juiciness, aroma, moderate spice and a dominant taste of lamb. The best combination is terroire wine Odessa black with its rich aroma and intense flavor!

 

Goose breast with corn puree and roasted pears in wine

Bogdan Pawluch, sommelier and author of the blog about the wine "Wine is easy"

I became Acquainted with this dish at the restaurant where I work.

the Recipe is simple: lubricate the goose breast, which before roasting is aged in brine for about 12 hours, so the meat was soft, or just marinated, then roasted from the peel to stopusa excess fat, and baked to a medium degree of doneness. Pear marinated in red wine and is cooked in SVD, or just baked.

To this dish I recommend a wine based on Merlot because of its fruitiness and good balance of acidity goes well with goose breast and create the perfect taste. Colonist Merlot aged 2013 — the perfect pair to this dish, it's not overloaded with oak and has fine silky tannins that help to cope with the dish.

 

ingredients: white mushrooms

Vsevolod Polishchuk, conductor of the Club of Galician Cuisine

I love meat and meat by-products, so these dishes quite a lot. If to choose in this moment, then, perhaps, would have stopped at the kruchenyky with mushrooms. Meat should be well repulsed, from young pork, and mushrooms — stewed in butter with garlic, carrot and thyme. I this recipe came experimentally, and the only ingredients in different interpretations were very popular in my mom's family. Only it is still their in a cream sauce zatoskoval. I wonder what exactly makes my father-in-law, although my mother cherkashchina, and father-in-law from Lviv. The dish combines several very strong flavors and aromas, so the drink should be quite strong and rich. It may be vodka or a strong tincture (Terence, gorobinci, hrve the like), and from wines, for example, Odessa black, thick, with a pronounced taste and aftertaste.

Alexander Shapovalov, the founder of the winery, Don Alejandro Winery

A favorite meat dish is lamb in soy sauce for a barbecue. The recipe I secretly told my friend, architect, 5-6 years ago. By this time I cooked the lamb in a marinade of mineral water, onion, vodka and spices. The recipe is very simple and fast: soy sauce and no spices. Pickling requires only 20-30 minutes. It is important that the soy sauce was not salty. For this dish choose Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 from Don Alejandro Winery.

Meat lasagna

Valentine Kuzmenok, sommelier, Manager Good Wine Obolon

For me, probably the best meat dish is the meat lasagna, which I met in Italy. As for the combination of wine, then it is a simple red wine, it is logical that it is Italian or a good Bardolino or North good Merlot. Moderate tannins, good acidity and not very bright flavor will fully enjoy it is the taste of the dish.

the advice from winery Colonist:

in addition to the climbing is recommended to choose Merlot own plantations of TM "Kolonist" — a light wine, with a balanced soft taste with round tannins. Has a pleasant red fruit aroma, with dominant notes of ripe cherries and vanilla. The wine goes well with meat dishes with berry sauces, duck, pates and Italian cuisine.
