Wine and party pairings
Some say wine and cheese. Other say wine and chocolate. We say wine and party!
Wine writers carry on about the flavours of wine and food complimenting each other. There is the perfect Cab for a delicate blue rare fillet and chicken and Chenin Blanc is meant for one another. With some merit of course, but wine should also just be enjoyed. What better way to enjoy wine, than with friends and loved ones at a party.
What wine (Red, White, Sweet, Dry or sparkling) do you think pairs with the following kind of parties?
- Sundowner.
- House, dinner or birthday party.
- Random social gathering.
- Anniversary.
- Or all of the above and everything else?
