the basics

Wine and Food Pairing 101

Wine is a balancing act! When you know the flavor profile of your food- a generous rub? Lots of herbs? Braised or grilled proteins? – it’s easy to make choices from a diverse portfolio. (It’s more complex than red goes with meat, white goes with fish). Think of similarities and contrasts. Don’t let a wine be heavier than your food, pair sweeter with spicy!
