Selecting food to accompany a particular wine
If you know what kind of wine you want with your meal, simply locate your wine and the guide will show you what foods pair with it. It is important to know that the most important element of a dish, from the perspective of wine selection, is the sauce.
Without Sauce: If your dish is not going to be sauced, then simply select the dish from the of list of meats and seafoods shown for the wine.
With Sauce: If your dish is going to be sauced, then your wine pairing will be based on the sauce rather tha the food itself. It may seem strange, but sauces provide the predominate flavor characteristics of most dishes and so are more critical to the wine pairing than the meat, pasta, seafood or whatever it is that is served under the sauce. Since your dish will be sauced, rather than select the food, you will select the sauce from the list provided. Given the right wine and sauce combination, you can serve pretty much anything under the sauce. Click here to pair food with your wine.
