Pairing Red Wine with Food
Food and wine pairing is a highly subjective process. The old rules of wine pairings, declaring that red wine should go with red meat and white wine should be served with fish and poultry, are much more flexible these days. For example, Gamay Beaujolais can bring out great flavors in dishes as diverse as chicken, sausage, antipasto, curry and even spicy Mexican foods. |
