Food Pairing Tips

Elevate Every Sip with the Perfect Bite

There’s nothing quite like a delicious meal paired with the perfect glass of wine. Whether you're enjoying a quiet dinner at home or hosting a lively dinner party, the right food and wine combo can take your experience to the next level. Here's a simple guide to help you choose the right bottle for every dish—from sweet treats to savory mains.

Bubbly is Always a Safe Bet
Not sure what to serve? Sparkling wine is one of the most versatile options out there. Whether you're enjoying appetizers, rich entrees, or sweet desserts, bubbly brings a festive, balanced touch that works with just about anything.

Sweet Wine Meets Sweet Food
Dessert wines like port or ice wine are rich, smooth, and often sweet enough to double as dessert themselves. Pair them with cakes, tarts, cheesecakes, or chocolatey treats for a decadent finish to your meal.

Sweet and Savory? It Works!
Surprisingly, sweet wines can also enhance savory flavors. Port pairs beautifully with strong cheeses or salted nuts, and a crisp, sweet wine can cut through the richness of cured meats or the brininess of olives. It’s all about contrast—and discovering what excites your palate.

Match the Body to the Dish
A good rule of thumb is to match the wine’s body to the strength of your dish.

• Light-bodied wines go well with seafood, salads, and simple pastas.

• Full-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah complement bold dishes like grilled steak, lamb, or roasted mushrooms.

Ultimately, It’s Your Call
While traditional pairings are great, the most important thing is what you enjoy. Everyone’s taste is different, so feel free to experiment and find your own favorites. And if you're serving guests, these tips can help you impress while still staying true to your style.
