Ronald Newman guides Milestone Investment Properties, LLC, and leads a Puyallup, Washington, enterprise that has developed a number of quality residential communities. He and the Milestone team have planned and constructed properties such as Wynstone Townhomes, and have them under management. Ronald Newman enjoys travel in his free time and frequently visits Lake Chelan in Washington’s wine country. A culinary enthusiast, he particularly enjoys pairing wine and food.
Many classic pairings center around French food, and duck à l’orange with a Riesling is no exception. The bittersweet sauce of the duck is intensified and expanded in combination with a Riesling, which is just off-dry in character. Full-bodied red wines such as Cabernets traditionally pair well with dishes that feature red meat. The pepper notes in a Cabernet match a quality steak rubbed in black pepper, and accentuate the wine’s fruitiness.
For those who want to experience a distinct lift in their wine pairings, caviar can be paired with champagne. Champagne does not simply complement this appetizer; the bubbles alter the texture, as well as taste, of the caviar in the mouth to something similar to a pâté.
