Wine and food pairing does not need to be complicated. As with all food, we believe every person’s sense of taste is different and pairings is an individual choice. Typically, you want to drink light-to-dark, just as you plan a meal you start with the lighter flavors and work towards the heavier flavors. For example, Champagne typically goes well with appetizers or opening courses. White wine is usually a great match for salads and lighter dishes, while red wine works well with steaks and heavier sauces. A port is a perfect way to end the meal with a nice piece of chocolate cake. But remember to experiment with wine and food to see what works best for you. Here is a simple guideline to get you started on eating and drinking!!
