Welcome to the first of many food and wine pairing challenges. The focus of my food and wine pairing challenge is to take things I love to make or enjoy eating and have you pair them with your favorite wine(s). I’ve been thinking about introducing this segment for a while so I thought tonight was as good a time as any.
This week’s challenge is my peach cobbler. I’ve been making peach cobblers for about 4 years now and I just love it. I thought about this recipe for some time now and wondered what wine I could possibly pair it with. That’s where you come in 😉 I would like you to pair my peach cobbler with a wine you think would go good with this recipe.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden-brown. Serve warm or cold.

For this challenge, please list your suggestions in the comments section of my blog. Over the next few months or so, I will try out your suggestions and list my favorites. The ultimate goal is to have fun, but in the future, I may have prizes for the winners 😉 Maybe you’ll even win one of my peach cobblers!
Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I’ve been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
