Matching Food with Wine.

Jun 30, 1998

There is always the traditional rules for matching your meal with a wine. Here I have listed a few of my favorite food and wine matches. Some suggestions might be a little different. I recommend trying anything that is new to you and sounds interesting. It might turn out to be your favorite match.

Almonds accompanied with Sherry.
Antipasto with Soave, or Pinot Grigio.
Beef Stroganoff with Brunello, or Hermitage.
Caviar with Champagne, or Ice Vodka.
Caesar Salad with Chardonnay.
Chili with Brut Champagne.
Crab with Zinfandel.
Crab cakes with Sauvignon Blanc.
Eggs with Brut Champagne and Orange Juice.
(Eggs do not have a good relationship with wine on their own. For this reason I recommend inexpensive wine or a orange juice combination.)
Guacamole with Chardonnay, or beer.
Oysters with Chablis.
Rack of Lamb with Bordeaux.
Roast Chicken with Beaujolais.
Salmon with Chablis, or Pinot Noir.
Steak with Cabernet Sauvignon, or Champaign.
T-bone Steak with Chianti.
Thai Dishes with Riesling.
Tomatoes with Chianti.
We want to here your food and wine combinations, so start a discussion and post your suggestions.

If you can afford it, many of the excellent Bourgogne wines will match any of the red meat you may have in mind for BBQing. A good suggestion is to decant red wine 1 to 2 hours prior to drinking.

No, I have never tried Lamb with Pesquera 82. If you have tried this particular combination I would be very interested in you opinion.
