When it comes to finding the perfect pairing for your dish, The Wine Cellar Group's selection of premium wines is sure to have something for everyone. Red wines are typically best with red meat and fatty, hearty dishes, while white wines are better suited for lighter flavors such as fish and poultry. But no matter what type of wine you choose, there are some general rules of thumb to follow when pairing wines with food. Vegetarian dishes can also be paired with wine.
Eggplant and mushrooms are often used as protein substitutes in sandwiches and other dishes, and both have the depth of flavor that pairs well with red wines. Cabernet Franc is a great choice for mushroom dishes, while Syrah and Rhône blends are ideal for eggplant. For Italian, Greek, and other Mediterranean dishes featuring eggplant, local wines such as Nero d'Avola or Negroamaro are excellent choices. Earthier ingredients like mushrooms and lentils pair well with lighter reds such as Pinot Noir and Dolcetto.
Pinot Noir is also a great choice for salmon dishes, proving that red wine can be enjoyed with fish. Silky whites like Chardonnay from California, Chile, or Australia are delicious with a variety of fish such as swordfish or seafood in a rich sauce. Sweet sparkling wines like Moscato d'Asti and demi-sec champagne are perfect for emphasizing the fruit in desserts rather than the sugar. Pink sparkling wines such as pink champagne, pink Prosecco, and California sparkling rosé wine have a deep flavor and richness that pairs well with a variety of main courses. Grilled tuna, lamb chops, and beetroot risotto all go great with this type of wine.
