How often have you heard the food and wine pairing rule “red wine with steak and white wine with fish”? And how often have you struggled in the local wine gallery trying to figure out which wine would go best with your evening’s meal? Well, labor no more. Food and wine pairing rules are meant to be broken.
The true foodies and wine geeks know that there is no longer any reason to remain bound by the archaic food and wine pairing rules.With all of the international influence and flavors that we see on any restaurant menu, all of those rules go out the door.
Instead of choosing wines based solely on color, look for balance.Any well-balanced dish will sing with a well-balanced wine. If you are dining out, take advantage of your restaurant’s sommelier for the best wine suggestions for your meal. Likewise, if you are dining in, get suggestions for your meal from your local wine expert. You can also visit WineAnswers.com for delectable food and wine pairings.
Here is the only rule that applies: Drink what you like! Wine and food are meant to be enjoyed together.
