wine pairing

When pairing food and wine, balance and synergy are components for creating complementary and enhancing flavors. If done properly, wine and food pairings can tantalize your taste buds.

The beauty of wine is its ability to constantly change during the fermentation process. Wine can also change its flavor and aroma when paired with different food tastes and textures. When well-matched, you should be able to transform the flavors of the food and wine to create a pallet-pleasing experience.

The acids, tannins, sugar and body of the wine should interact with your food and enhance its flavor. Each wine has very distinct characteristics. These characteristics can be used to enhance any dish you create.

Remember, regardless of the wine and food the best pairing will always be the company!

wine of the week

Bodegas Fernando Remirez de Ganuza 2001 Rioja Reserva

Impressively sweet, dense and rich, with sappy, mouth-staining flavors of black fruits, spices and licorice perfectly framed by superb acids. Large-scaled and full, with terrific purity and verve.
