Wine Pairings
Pair pad thai with: A food-friendly rosé
Bring some French sunshine into our cool Canadian autumn with this syrah-and-grenache-based dry rosé. This is a wine with considerable depth, matching perfectly with these zesty noodles.
Our pick: Château Val Joanis Rosé Tradition Syrah, France, $15.
