i always say...wine and food are a relationship not much unlike chosing a mate: you either pick a wine and food pairing that are either exact opposites, so they balance each other, or pick those that have a lot in common.both theories work in interpersonal relationships, and i think they work with food too! an acidic pasta with red sauce may need a fruity chianti, or a turkey with sweet cranberry sauce would be well complimented by a sweet gewurtz. and, of course, when in doubt, wines with high acidity, and low "oak", are generally best for whatever you're eating!! happy eating.

Cotes du Rhone sounds right on, and many Rhone rangers would be good for the same reasons. I do believe the RH Phillips EXP Syrah would work wonders with this meal, although before I sat down at the table, I'd want to see a picture of the beast that produced the lamb shank panfried chicken. Calvin Trilllin once wrote that he always imagined "Surfnturfs" to be large, underwater cows. Maybe lamb-chickens are related. Sorry, I couldn't resist. The meal sounds delicious, and the variety of ingredients suggests to me two bottles--white to start, and red for the main course. |

Ok, so I've really NEVER paid attention to wines before. I'm setting up a dinner party and plan on a Merlot. What should the dinner be? I've heard beef. Is this right?Thanks. |
