For
centuries, good food has typically been enjoyed with fine wine –
not just any slab of meat with any sort of drink, mind you. There’s
just something exquisite and artistic about pairing the right dish
with the right bottle of wine; a quality that cannot be expressed in
mere words, but rather one that must be experienced, tasted, and
felt. So the next time you hit your local winery’s restaurant for a
nice dinner to cap off the day, be sure to keep these pairings in
mind:
Champagne and Salty
Food
If
you’re craving for a celebratory glass of bubbly, then look no
further than salty finger-foods to go along with it. A bit of
saltiness offsets and balances the sweetness of champagne.
Sauvignon Blanc and
Tangy Sauces
The
beauty in drinks like Sauvignon Blanc or Vinho Verde is their zippy
aftertaste that will surely leave you reaching for a bite. In this
case, choose tangy foods with sauces, like scallops with grapefruit
onion salad.
Chardonnay and Fish
Fish,
particularly fatty fish dishes, is the best to pair with a refreshing
glass of Chardonnay. A nice bowl of shrimp scampi should go well with
it, too.
Pinot
Noir and Earthy Flavours
Pinot
noir is one of the most versatile and food-friendly wines around, so
you can pair its nice strawberry and raspberry taste with anything
from stuffed mushrooms to dishes like beef tenderloin, mushroom lo
mein, or maybe a nice, cheesy pizza.
