How to Pair Plant-Based Foods featuring Eleven Madison Park Sommelier Gabriel Di Bella

Episode 9 January 19, 2023 “Was there a fear that going plant-based would affect your 3-Michelin star status?” we ask Sommelier Gabriel Di Bella of Eleven Madison Park, which has been recognized as the world’s best restaurant. “Hundred percent for sure,” he tells us on this episode of Wine Access Unfiltered. Join us as Gabriel recounts Chef Daniel Humm’s big announcement, how he approaches wine pairings with “no boundaries” just like they do food, how texture plays a bigger role in pairing vegetables with wine than one might think, the vegetable that’s most challenging to pair, and much more.
