Best Food and Wine Pairings

Wine pairing is a delicate technique where you match complementary food dishes with their perfect wine to maximize the value that each component has to offer. It is important to pair your food with the right wine if you want to accomplish a perfect dining experience. At first glance, wine pairing can seem very complex, especially if you are a beginner. However, wine pairing is not that difficult. When choosing wine, there are six main flavor profiles you should look for: acidity, fattiness, bitterness, saltiness, sweetness, and alcohol percentage.  Each flavor profile you can mix and match to create a perfect balance between the components of the dish and the characteristics of a wine. There are two basic principles that are practiced in wine pairing.  The first one is the contrasting pairing, where you achieve balance by pairing contrasting flavors. The second one is the congruent pairing, where you pair flavor profiles to create balance by amplifying each other. In order to achieve the perfect combination, you do need to have a few bottles of wine at home so that you have a selection to choose from. If you want to avoid constantly going to the market, you can join a wine club that delivers straight to your home. To find the perfect wine club for you, take a look at these monthly wine club reviews.
