Yummy!

- Possible Food Pairings for Wines -


Riesling: This wine goes well with fish, chicken and pork, tuna, salmon, eel, and spicy Japanese food.
Sauvignon Blanc: Salads, seafood and any poultry are great pairings for this wine.
Chardonnay: Great wine for chicken and fish dishes.
Moscato: This wine is fine on it's own, but alright to pair with a dessert or sweeter treat.
Pinot Grigio: Great with mostly anything and mainly a personal preference.
     * Suggestion: If only a fan of white wine, pair this when eating red meats if necessary.
Merlot: This wine is similar to pinot grigio because it can be paired with mostly anything and is simply a personal preference.
     * Suggestion: If only a fan of red wine, pair this when eating white meat if necessary.
Cabernet Sauvignon: Great wine for any red meat that is simply prepared.
Pinot Noir: This wine goes great with sushi, grilled salmon, chicken and lamb.
Zinfandel: Great wine for grilled meats, red-sauce pastas, and pizza.
     * Suggestion: Try and pair according to the variety of the wine and it's heaviness.  A heavy wine may not compliment a heavy barbecued dish, but a fresher Zinfandel would.

* Try to avoid red meats with white or sweet wines.
* Sweeter wines go better if paired alone or with dessert.
