Meat and Wine Pairings
Tuesday, May 25, 2021 2:48 PM
Summer is a time to unwind, plan vacations, BBQ with friends and family outdoors, head to the beach, and soak up the sunshine! With all these activities the last thing you want to worry about is what type of wine to serve with your meat. Here are some new and classic pairings to consider from Food & Wine.
Grilled Fish + Albariño
Albariño shares Sauvignon Blanc’s grapefruity tang, making it a great partner for grilled fish, yet it has a flinty minerality all its own.
Classic Pairing: Sauvignon Blanc
Grilled Pork or Beef + Monastrell
Spanish Monastrell, known as Mourvèdre in France, has the same luscious fruit that makes Zinfandel so good with grilled pork, but with a spicy edge that arguably creates an even better match.
Classic Pairing: Zinfandel
Grilled Steak + Malbec
Malbec, like Cabernet, has firm tannins that help it pair beautifully with steak, plus its fruit is as robust and dark.
Classic Pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon
Grilled Chicken or Vegetables + Pinot Gris
Classic Pairing: Chardonnay
Grilled Salmon + Cru Beaujolais
Classic Pairing: Pinot Noir
