Appetizer Pairing

Food: Deviled Eggs, Shrimp Cocktail, and Baked Brie, Rufled potato chips

With so many options for you and your loved ones to snack on, it is best to oVer a wine that can be best friends with any elegant hors d’oeuvres or bowl of snack food. Choose to start the day by popping some bubbly. Sparkling wine is for celebrations and dining. The pleasure a glass brings is only compounding by the two meetings as one. The acidity and bubbles will cleanse the palate between diVer- ent bites and have the bonus of acting as an aperitive.

Dinner Pairing

Food: Turkey, Stuflng, Mash Potatoes, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce,
impossible, but do not fret.

Several wines will match nicely with most of the food, and additionally, the best bottle to pair with is the type you like already. Pick two to four wines for the main event so that everyone can drink what they like most. Though, it is smart to tailor those choices with very versatile wines. For example, a dry sparkling rosé, oV-dry German Riesling, and Californian Zinfandel and or Pinot Noir would all make a lovely pairing with the usual suspects..

Dessert Pairing

Food: Fudge, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie

Look at sweet wine as an ingredient or component of the desserts because it will accentuate the Gavor of the treat. The connections between the two will build on each other, adding and creating new perceived Gavors. It is a lot like a symphony, where several
instruments are playing similar melodies. Harmony is formed through the diVerent notes, like those found in the desserts and wine. Long time favorites like Tawny Port, Sauternes, and Sweet Red would make for lovely pairings.
