Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in Marlton, New Jersey, and Radnor, Pennsylvania, has inaugurated “Small Plates, Big Pours” at the bar, a selection of seven innovative small plates matched with an oversized wine pour from Fleming’s 100 for just $24.95.
Maeve Pesquera, Fleming’s Director of Wine, has specially chosen each of the seven wines to pair with the flavors of the steakhouse small plates. Guests may select one of the suggested wine pairings or create a unique flavor combination of their own by mixing up these wine and food options…
Sliced Filet Mignon & Penley Merlot: Beef filet, mushroom risotto, and Merlot all exhibit a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth quality and harmonize well together.
Shrimp Scampi Skewers & Paco & Lola Albariño: Albariño’s crisp minerality echoes the fresh ocean flavors of the shrimp, and the green apple and floral notes of the wine are a wonderful complement to the spicy chimichurri sauce.
Petite Lamb Chops & Cline Cashmere Red Blend: Oak-aged red wines almost always pair well with grilled meats, and the lamb has flavor compounds that pair particularly well with the chocolate notes & hints of black peppers in this Syrah-Grenache-Mouvèdre blend.
Seared Ahi tuna & A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir: The bit of spice in this perfectly smooth Pinot Noir soothes the piquant notes of the mustard sauce served with the tuna dish.
New Bedford Scallops & Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc: The fruity minerality of this refreshing Sauvignon Blanc accentuates the buttery richness of the scallops, and its citrus qualities echo the dish’s Meyer lemon-honey glaze.
Filet Mignon Skewers & B.R. Cohn Silver Cabernet: Powerful foods need a powerful wine, and the full, rich flavors of this Sonoma Cabernet pair well with the robust flavors of seared beef, creamy gorgonzola, and smoky bacon.
Lobster Tempura & Silverado Chardonnay: The rich sweetness of the lobster echoes the rich flavors of crème brûlée and citrus found in this medium bodied Chardonnay.
“Guests could pick a pairing with a blindfold on and still would not go wrong with the seven wine selections on our ‘Small Plates, Big Pours’ menu,” notes Russell Skall, Fleming’s Executive Chef. “Larger groups can experiment by ordering several of the small plates to see who comes up with the favorite pairing of the evening.”
