18 N O R T H C O A S T m e n d o c i n o c o u n t y N O R T H C O A S T D I N I N G & E N T E R T A I N M E N T How do you pair food and wine? It can be complicated, but a good food and wine match will enhance the flavors and unique characteristics of both the food and the wine. Simply stated, wine drunk by itself tastes different than when you drink wine with food. The acids, tannins and sugars in the wine interact with the food to provide different taste sensations. WHITE WINES: Champagne is perfect with anything salty. Sauvignon Blanc goes with tart dressing and sauces (anything you can squeeze a lemon or lime on – perhaps grilled salmon). Pinot Grigio pairs with light fish dishes. Chardonnay goes well with fatty fish or fish in a rich sauce or lighter meats. Off-dry Riesling pairs with sweet and spicy dishes, such as curried chicken. How about crisp Chablis with clam chowder! RED WINES: Pinot Noir is great for dishes with earthy flavors -- think wild mushrooms! Zinfandel blends well with pâtés, mousses and terrines. Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous with juicy red meat. Syrah goes well with highly spiced dishes. ROSÉ WINES: Moscato loves fruit desserts – how about an ollalieberry tart! Rosé champagne is great with dinner, not just hors d'oeuvres. Serve a dry rosé with rich, cheesy dishes.
