What To Eat With Red Wine Red wine is… magic: it is delicious, has health benefits, and is also best friends with almost any type of food. The challenge is finding a wine that pairs perfectly with your dinner plans. Don’t worry if you get home with the perfect meal plan and find you don’t have the right red, just use wine delivery. A great wine pairing can change your meal and make both taste 100% better. One pairing that you have likely tried is a California Cab Sauvignon with a good steak — if you haven’t tried this pairing drop everything right now and do it. This pairing will inspire you to believe the in magic of pairing your wine and food and in red wine. First try the California cab and steak pairing then get started on this list of great pairings we have personally tried. Colder weather is coming quickly we REALLY recommend grabbing a Pinot Noir, like a Jamieson Ranch Vineyards Reata Three County Pinot Noir 2013 and pairing it with a great butternut squash soup to warm you up. A Pinot is a fruity wine with earthy flavours that goes really well with lower fat meals that include gamy ingredients and vegetables.

Have a love for pasta and other red sauce deliciousness? You are going to want to have an italian Sangiovese on hand — it pairs well with anything rustic or italian styled. Our fav is a big plate of lasagne and a Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva 2011. If are a vegetarian or just generally stay away from meat a Sangiovese is a perfect wine to pair with vegetarian meals due to the acidity complementing vegetable materials. Like a fruitier wine rather than a deep robust red? Grab a Beaujolais and pair with mashed sweet, potatoes and a oven-roasted chicken. A trick with pairing wines is keeping the tone of the meal together, if your wine is sweet pair it with some sweeter food or if your food is spicy make sure you have a robust full wine ready. One of our favourite is a merlot, any merlot. It’s like they were all made with food pairing in mind. In fact just order a merlot through a liquor delivery service right now. A merlot is medium-bodied meaning you can pair a 1/2


merlot with really rich food or simpler foods too. The best is caramelized veggies and a good roast beef. The richness of the roast beef makes the merlot seem equally rich but it won’t leave you feeling stuffed as it is merely a medium bodied wine. It’s all about the balance.

Think of a Malbec like a cheat wine — anything you have with it is delicious and likely not the healthiest. Burgers with blue cheese, rich lamb chops, spicy brazilian BBQ, indulgent smoked steaks just to name a few. A Malbec is great for BBQ season because it goes with almost all delicious meat! Let’s get real about a great pairing with wine that isn’t the most conventional. Takeout! — burgers, tacos, wings, burritos, pizza. THEY ALL HAVE GREAT WINE PAIRINGS! For pizza you want an acidic wine to calm down the tomatoes — grab a Barbera to go with your Dominoes. For wings, tacos, and burritos pick up a Zinfandel. Try a Cab or a Malbec the next time you pick up a Big Mac — now that’s adulting. Have you experienced a phenomenal wine pairing? Let us know as you can tell we love making wine and good food a hobby.
