Ever notice how at times a wine can taste great,
and other times not? Take notice of what you're eating. Foods and
wines "pair" or go together better than others. Read bottle
lables for suggestions or follow these tips.
General Tips
- Spicy or highly seasoned foods go best with sweet wines to balance
the flavors
- With tomato sauces or citrus flavors, Zinfandel tends to go
nicely
- Cabernet and Merlot balance the high fat content of steak and
pork chops
- Turkey dinner goes well with Pinot Noir, Gamay, Sparkling Wine,
Sauvignon Blanc
- For dessert, look for wines that are actually sweeter than the
dessert: port is heaven with chocolate.
Sites to Visit
There are many cookbooks that can help with specific
recipies and pairings. I also like the interactive tools available:
