There are so many excellent wine pairings for Tannat wines and it really depends on the individual producer and wine as to what dishes will pair best. Tannat’s resistant nature — able to handle heavy rain and drought, while always delivering acidity, colour and aroma — meant it survived throughout the 20th century, always adding value to a grower’s vineyard, even alongside the busty hybrid varieties that were popular throughout much of the 20th century.

Tannaim ( Amoraic Hebrew: תנאים [tannaˈ(ʔ)im], singular תנא‎ [tanˈna], Tanna "repeaters", "teachers" [1]) were the rabbinic sages whose views are recorded in the Mishnah, [2] from approximately 10–220 CE. The variety is believed to have originated in South West France, where its strong tannic presence is used as the backbone to red blends — rarely vinified by its own.

After this period, though, the Houses of Hillel and Shammai came to represent two distinct perspectives on Jewish law, and disagreements between the two schools of thought are found throughout the Mishnah.

The Cambridge History of Judaism, vol 4, CHAPTER 15, "MISHNAIC HEBREW: AN INTRODUCTORY SURVEY," MOSHE BAR-ASHER, p. is a classic Tannat pairing, and in Uruguay Tannat is commonly paired with pasta dishes – carbonara (minus the bacon for vegetarians!

A rich wine enlivened by the refreshing acidity of this singular grape (a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat). Modern winemaking in the region has begun to emphasize the fruit more and use oak aging to help soften the tannins.While rejecting the feminist approaches she gives a penetratingly convincing philosophical-theological interpretation, revealing a unique doctrine of a unique female scholar of second century Palestine.
