Our Favorite Matches

Everyone has different tastes, wine preferences and palettes. A wine and food match that we like does not guarantee that you will like it, however certainly give it a try.   

When we uncover great food and wine matches, we will feature them here. 

Some of our favorite matches:

  • Sauvignon Blanc and a spinach salad

  • Red Zinfandel and chocolate

  • Syrah (or Shiraz called by the Australians) and lamb

  • Grilled Steak with an Australian Shiraz

  • Cedar Plank Salmon with Lailey Vineyards Canadian Oaked Pinot Noir

  • Grilled Veal with Portebello Mushroom with a great Chilean Carmenere.  

Classic Food and Wine Matches

Whites

  • Sauvignon Blanc enhances fish with a lemon butter sauce

  • Gewürztraminer pairs well with spicy Thai or Indian food

  • Chardonnay is a good choice with a pasta with a cheese sauce

Reds

  • Pinot Noir with grilled salmon

  • Red Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon are ideal for peppery steaks or roast beef

  • Beaujolais complements a roasted chicken or grilled shrimp (try serving the Beaujolais slightly chilled)

  • Chianti goes well with a dish of pasta and a tomato based sauce
