Wine Pairings Made Easy!
- Let’s say you love beef. Maybe a ribeye or humble hamburger? That means a medium or bold red. Trying to impress a date? The bold reds say more formal and sophisticated flavor. For a more casual meal go for the medium reds such as Sweet Red. Combination wines have become very popular. However they also cover a multitude of sins- I mean flavors too.
- Maybe Chicken is your preference. The chart points to Rich White wine, Light Red and Medium Red wines. Thats a wide range of choices. Look at your sides, the lighter the side, the lighter the wine. So a Rich White wine fits a chicken salad. However Chicken Marsala would need a Light Red such as a Pinot Noir.
- A hors d’oeuvre night with a variety of cheeses, olives, fruits and vegetables. It’s light. Why not let everyone can pick and choose what they want. Which wine will they enjoy? Undoubtedly having a couple choices will make it fun for all! For this event, the preference will be based on personal taste. So have a Sweet White, a Rich White and a light Red on hand. Maybe for the guys, have beer too.
You’ve Got This!
Wine brings people together. Why not use this time to experiment? It’s fun! Basically everyone can be their own expert. When we share it creates community. Community fosters good vibes and positive mental health. So that means wine is not only good for heart health, it’s good for the head health too!
