Your No-Fuss Guide to Salami and Wine Pairing
Pairing salami with wine doesn’t have to feel like a classroom lesson. If you love good food but don’t want to get lost in the technical details, you’re in the right place. With Goose on the Loose artisan salami and a few great wines, you can create flavour combinations that feel indulgent, effortless, and absolutely delicious.
Pairing #1: Duck Salami With Cracked Pepper & Citrus + Pinot Noir
-
Why it works: Smooth, fruit-forward Pinot stands up to the richness without being too bold.
-
Vibe: Laid-back dinner, good convo, and a grazing board worth a photo.
Pairing #2: Calabrese + Sparkling Rosé
-
Why it works: Bubbles tame the heat and the rosé adds a fruity kick.
-
Vibe: Sunny brunch, backyard BBQ, or pre-dinner drinks with a bit of flair.
Pairing #3: Duck & Juniper Berry Salami + Chardonnay
-
Why it works: The buttery texture of a Chardonnay complements the gamey richness of duck, while juniper berry adds a botanical twist that balances the wine's smooth finish. Sophisticated but still easygoing.
-
Vibe: Date night, even if it’s just you, a candle, and your best playlist.
What to Add to the Board
Bring it together with:
- Soft cheese (brie, camembert)
- A hard bite (aged cheddar or pecorino)
- Crackers and crusty sourdough
- Something sweet (fig jam or local honey)
- Bonus points for grapes or dried apricots
Final Tip
Don’t overthink it. If it tastes good together, it’s a win. Go big on the flavour, pour what you love, and let Goose do the heavy lifting.
