Foie gras
Foie gras' luxurious, buttery richness and concentrated flavor demands beverages with complementary sweetness, complexity, and acidity. The sweet, honeyed notes of Sauternes or Tokaji create a beautiful contrast, while the carbonation and fruity complexity of Belgian Tripels or the caramel richness of a Barleywine cleanse the palate between bites of this intensely rich delicacy.
