3 Food & Wine Pairings Every Woman Should Know

When it comes to pairing wine and food together, it’s easy to get confused about which flavor goes with which meal. Personally, I am a white wine drinker–Pinot Grigio, Riesling or Prosecco are some of my favorites. While I do enjoy a nice glass of wine at happy hour, I prefer to pair my wine with food. However, I do get a bit intimidated when I try to make sure I use the right wine with the right cuisine.

Sparkling & Prosecco– Seafood

Merlot – Red Meat

As a rule of thumb when pairing wine and food, the color of your wine should match the color of your meat. A full-bodied Merlot is robust enough to stand up to heavy meats such as t-bone and porterhouse steaks.

Pinot Grigio: Perfect for Vegetarian or Vegan Meals

Lean, clean white wines such as Pinot Grigio are perfect for pairing with vegetarian or vegan meals. While Pinot Grigio can bring a sense of lightness to a pasta dish that may be dense with cheese and oil, it also can enhance the light airiness of a meal adorned with fresh vegetables.
