- dozer - 09-09-2007 have/do people base pairings on the side dishes? I'm looking for two separate meals. The first is with a spicy broccoli and mango salad with an orange based dressing. The second is a cornbread stuffing with sausage. Grateful for any suggestions - Innkeeper - 09-10-2007 IMHO it would be rare to concentrate on matching with side dishes. I'm not talking about separate courses here as I'm sure you understand. Some exceptions I can think of are steamed asparagus with Hollandaise sauce served with a simple entree, and things of that nature. For your dishes: 1. Off dry Riesling. 2. Light to medium Zinfandel or Shiraz. - Jackie - 09-13-2007 The main dish is usually the most important consideration. But there are normally many compatible wines for a main course, so side dishes are also significant because they can tilt your choices one way or another. What are the main courses for the two meals?
