As the holidays approach and we plan holiday meals and events, the question of which wines to serve with which foods is on many people's minds.
Below, in Part 2 of our blog series, "Holiday Entertaining," our quick guide to the best types of wines to pair with holiday foods:
Appetizers: Sauvignon Blanc, Champagne, Cava, Prosecco, or, for something different, dry or sparkling rosé
Turkey, Pork, or Light Seafood: Pinot Noir, Riesling, White Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or a White Burgundy--ask your wine seller which types are dryer, which sweeter
Beef: Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Tempranillo
Rich or Fatty Fish Dishes: Chardonnay
Citrus-Based Foods and Sauces: Sauvignon Blanc
Creamy or Spicy Foods: A dry Riesling or, for spicy foods, also a Sauvignon Blanc or a Syrah
Italian Food (Tomato Based): Sangiovese
Mushroom-Based Dishes: Pinot Noir
Desserts: Port or, for fruit desserts, Moscato d'Asti or Asti Spumante
Upcoming: Signature cocktails for the holidays and Non-Alcoholic Beverage Ideas
¡Salud!
