 Wine and Food Pairing - Science or Art?

Maybe it's Alchemy!

Whatever, when you are using an unfamiliar wine variety the whole game gets that much more difficult...and much more fun.

Of course you  know the rule

red wines with red meats
white wines with white meat
But it doesn't give you the whole story!

Nowadays you need to know more because

  • you now have a much wider choice of wine styles and varieties
  • there are many more exciting ingredients and food styles available
  • you and your family and friends want more interesting dining

Although we will never find the perfect match, everyone can all benefit by thinking a little creatively about how we can best use new wine varieites and styles with the wider range of cuisine available.

The Albarino to Zinfandel Project aims to bring together the food pairing ideas of Australia's most innovative winemakers, chefs, restauranteurs and writers to help you enjoy innovative wines with some great meals.
