4 POPULAR WINE
VARIETIES AND THE FOODS
THAT GO WITH THEM
Ingredients and
culinary skills are not
the only components
that can bring out the
fl avor in a delicious meal.
Wine can serve as the
perfect complement to a
meal, particularly when
individuals identify
which varieties go well
with certain foods.
Wine lists can
sometimes be
intimidating when
dining at establishments
known for their
extensive off erings. In such instances, diners can ask servers
for recommendations, as many restaurants teach staff
about which wines go well with the various dishes on their
menus. Th e following are four popular wine styles, their
fl avor profi les and foods that go well with them.
1. Pinot Noir Pinot Noir is a popular style of wine that can
be found on the red wine list at many establishments. Wine
Folly notes that Pinot Noir is a dry, light-bodied red that
has a very fruity, fl oral taste. Wine Folly notes that a Pinot
Noir typically pairs well with chicken, pork, veal, duck, or
cured meat.
2. Cabernet Sauvignon Wine.com reports that Cabernet
Sauvignon is the most planted and popular red wine grape
in the world. A Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and
tends to be higher in alcohol by volume (ABV) than other
styles, which is something diners should keep in mind.
Wine Folly indicates lamb, beef and smoked meats pair
well with Cabernet Sauvignon.
3. Chardonnay Chardonnay is widely considered the most
popular white wine in the world. In fact, WineInsiders.com
reports that almost every wine region around the world
grows the variety of grapes necessary to make Chardonnay.
Wine Folly indicates Chardonnay boasts a yellow citrus
fruit taste that can be akin to banana or pineapple and
often features a touch of butterscotch, vanilla or toasted
caramel. Chardonnay pairs well with seafood like lobster,
crab and shrimp, but also goes well with chicken and pork.
4. Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Blanc is another white
wine that boasts a fruity fl avor profi le. Th e profi le of
Sauvignon Blanc calls to mind exotic fruits like honeydew
melon and kiwi. Sauvignon Blanc is considered a light- to
medium-bodied white wine, and Wine Folly reports that
it goes well with fi sh, chicken, pork, and veal. In addition,
Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with various ethnic cuisines,
including Mexican, Vietnamese and French dishes.
When paired with the right dish, wine can make a night
out at a favorite restaurant that much more memorable.
