Matching Food with Wine.
There is always the traditional rules for matching your meal with a wine. Here I have listed a few food and wine matches. Some suggestions might be a little different and I recommend trying anything that is new to you. 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 with 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.
(Tomatoes do not have the best relationship with wine flavors. For this reason I suggest a medium priced wine.) If you have any food suggestions start a discussion and let us know your suggestions.
