Wine selections, other factors

[Innkeeper]

Having gone through a number of diets with my true love before they discovered she was carbohydrate intolerant, as you may guess we were vegetarians for a few years. We learned how to create a wide variety of dishes from a number of cuisines. We found that matching wine with them was like any other wine match up. Heavier dishes we had with red wine, and lighter ones whites or rose's.

Fruitier wines go well with sweet meals. Acidic wines go with acidic meals, partiularly those with tomatoes. There are wines you could describe has having a lot of texture such as the big reds, e.g. Barolo. These match well with heavily textured vegie dishes. We acutally enjoyed the flexibility of matching wines with meatless meals, because we felt no obligation to have a certain wine with a certain food, as in cabernet with steak.
