VinoMesa

I have this bottle. What should I cook?

VinoMesa answers that one question. Scan the label of any wine and get five dishes that go with it. Pick the one that fits your evening and cook it.

The VinoMesa app icon: a drop of red wine beside a cream plate

Ordered by how much cooking you feel like tonight. This is what a Rioja Reserva could bring to the table.

Rioja Reserva

Tempranillo, Rioja, Spain

A medium to full-bodied red with ripe cherry, vanilla from the oak and soft, polished tannins.

  1. Quick & easy

    15 min

    Chorizo and manchego toastie

    Smoky paprika picks up the oak, and the salty cheese makes the cherry fruit taste riper.

  2. Easy

    25 min

    Lamb burgers with roasted peppers

    The fat of the lamb softens the tannins, while sweet peppers echo the wine's ripe fruit.

  3. Worth the effort

    45 min

    Mushroom and thyme risotto with aged cheese

    Earthy mushrooms meet the savoury side of an aged Tempranillo, and the creaminess rounds it off.

  4. Something special

    1 hr 10 min

    Rack of lamb with rosemary and white beans

    Lamb is the classic of the region: rich enough for the structure, gentle enough to let the oak speak.

  5. Take your time

    3 hr 30 min

    Oxtail braised in red wine

    Hours of slow cooking build the depth that matches the wine's years in the barrel and the bottle.

From bottle to table

  1. Scan the label

    Take a photo of the label, or choose one from your library. One tap to confirm the wine.

  2. Choose a dish

    Five dishes, each with a short explanation of the match: fat against tannins, acidity against acidity, salt against fruit.

  3. Cook it

    The ingredients and the method are right there. Save the pairing to find it again later.

Not a perfect photo? No problem.

If the exact bottle cannot be read, VinoMesa continues with what it can see: grape, region, vintage. And if nothing is readable, tell it the colour and the grape and it takes it from there.
