Artichokes are Mediterranean in origin and are strong on mineral elements. They are among the vegetables that are difficult to pair with wine.
Often served alone, in a salad or as a soup they are sometimes served as a side with meat.

Within the past couple of years, old has become the new “new” and trying out once-forgotten vegetables has fortunately spread. Parsnips, Jerusalem artichoke, crosnes and other odd-looking vegetables have found their way to our kitchens and dinner plates, often accompanying the main dish. These new old vegetables have given rise to new equations in food and wine pairings.
