A successful wine pairing involves identifying the characteristics that make a wine suitable for each other, despite the abundance of excellent wines available. Following are some tried-and-true wine pairings:
With earthy, savoury foods like robust pizzas or dishes with mushrooms, choose a rich Pinot Noir.
Salmon and Chardonnay pair well with light meats and seafood when served with delicious sauces, making a dry, medium-bodied Chardonnay a perfect pairing.
A rich wine calls for a rich meal. Red meat and Cabernet go so well together because of this.
Light seafood meals go great with Pinot Grigio because of their light, delicate flavours.
For a savoury zing, sip a spicy Sauvignon Blanc and serve wine with a tangy sauce or dressing.
Rosé is your go-to wine for cheese because it combines the acidity of white wine with the fruity flavours of red wine.
Sparkling wines typically have sweet undertones, making them ideal for balancing off salty dishes.
Many Rieslings are mildly sweet and pair nicely with sweetness as well as balancing meals that are hot.
Select Syrah to let your dish's flavour finish off if it is extremely spicy.
Rich meals like pâtés, mousses, and terrines pair well with the richness of zinfandel.
