St. Patricks's Day Wine & Dinner Paring

Well, the deconstructed corned beef and cabbage meal was a hit.  I grilled the rye bread on both sides prior to assembling the sandwich.  The cabbage was caramelized in a cast iron skillet while the corned beef and Irish Kerrygold swiss cheese were warmed as well.  So all elements of the sandwich were warm and savory.  I did add some of my friend's homemade mustard - "Chef Jimmy's homemade whole grain mustard". 
As you remember, our wine pairings were a 2007 Domaine Carneros Pinot  Noir and a 2007 Helfrich Pinot Gris.  The unanimous hands down winner was the Helfrich Pinot Gris.  The meal and wine complemented each other perfectly, bringing out the rich flavors found in this wine.  See the sandwich results below.
