Cherries, a quintessentially West Coast fruit, are most prevalent in California, Oregon, and Washington. Their romantic appeal stems from belonging to the stone fruit family, ideal for various culinary uses and wine pairings.
Cherries can be utilized in different ways: for savory dishes like cherry sauce with Sangiovese wine, in salads with Barbera wine, baked desserts with Ruby Port, or simply enjoyed on their own with a light-bodied Zweigelt wine.
Bing cherries are the most common, while Rainier cherries with a red blush and pale flesh are sweeter. Sour cherries, known as pie cherries, offer a tart flavor profile, perfect for baking.
