Wine Information-Wine & Food

Wine Information-Wine & Food: "Portugal has a very old tradition of serving fruity sweets with a fine Port. And many robust cheeses are made even more delectable when paired with a swirl of a good Gewürztraminer.

When preparing that creamy soup experiment with a Chardonnay with its overtones of pear or apple. Or, for those so inclined, the more vegetal hints of a Sauvignon Blanc will reinforce the dish.

For the adventurous, a cheese platter such as a young Camembert, or a Pecorino, those made from sheep's milk — combine in an interesting way with a fine Pinot Noir.

But while considering your choices for pairing the right wine with your dish (or vice-versa for the true wine lover!), consider other factors.

Consider pairing wine with the person. Some individuals simply don't care for the heaviness of a port, or the robustness of a red, preferring the dry, more delicate whites."
