Wine and Sushi

Spring Roll with a Spicy Seafood Ro

Here is a pretty way to enjoy a romantic evening together. Pair some wine with sushi and serve them on these unique and pretty handmade glass sushi dishes.

We bought some tempura to go. We used a dark purple sushi set to serve the sushi with a dry Riesling.

Here we used my sushi set to serve spring roll and spicy seafood roll. We paired it with a Pinot Gris from Inniskillin.
