What to Drink???

Wine and Food pairings is an individual choice. Every person’s taste is different. You should decide what wine tastes good with what you are eating – don’t worry about what anyone else says should work. However, I know this is hard when you are new to drinking wine. So I have made a few recommendations. 

Personally I can drink a good Merlot with anything, but that is because I LOVE Merlot!!!  Where Chris, my Husband, cannot stand anything red.  He drinks white SWEET wine, such as a Riesling.

 You will figure out quite quickly that your own tongue has its own idea of what goes well with what. Trust yourself, and eat and drink what you enjoy! 

Red wine usually takes some getting used to, but once you do it has been said it is great for your heart!!!  Don’t know if that’s true or not, but I know I will have a very healthy heart of it is!!!!

Normally you would drink light-to-dark. Champagne tends to go very well with appetizers.  White wine is usually a match for salads and lighter dishes, while red wine works perfectly with steaks and heavier meat sauces. A port is often the perfect end to a meal, sipped with a piece of chocolate cake.  (However, to me nothing is better than a really good Riesling!)
