                                              5 Basic Keys to Wine & Food Pairing

Must read! Perfect Pairings, Evan Goldstein, MS, by Andy Berwick
#1. Weight.  Balance Flavor Intensity :  Pair light bodied wines with lighter foods and fuller bodied wines with more rich, hearty, flavorful                            dishes. 
#2.  Flavor intensity. Balance food preparations : Pair delicate wines with foods more delicately prepared, like steamed or poached,and braised,                               roasted, grilled or sauteed foods with more robust  wine.  Think.......Sauvignon Blanc & Dover Sole, Roasted lamb & Syrah
#3.  Match Flavors :   If using a sauce, pair the  wine to the sauce and/or any dominate flavor.  Think about what you taste in the food
 and what you taste in the wine.  Match  flavor characteristics such as earthiness, fruit, smokiness.  Think....   Mushroom Risotto & Nebbiolo     
#4.  Consider the opposite:  Hot & spicey often go best with sweeter wines.  Opposites can attract and play off each other. Think......  Spicey Thai noodles & Reisling 
#5.  Experiment:  Try new wines and new foods together.  See what works and what doesn't.  Every pairing is a learning experience. Enjoy the process and don't take it all too seriously.  
Basic Considerations: Food: 1.Weight/richness of food. 2.Flavor Intensity. 3.Key flavors in the food.
Wine:        1.Wieight/body of wine. 2.Flavor intensity and characteristics. 3.Acidity- Tannins &Sweetness

   CELLARING ...preserving the flavors while postponing the pleasure...By Andy Berwick

Sooner or later, anyone who enjoys wine regularly will start a collection, although often quite unintentionally. It is safe to say the new world wine will not age as well as wines from France or Italy. So if your are considering cellaring your wine, reduce the risk of off flavors and faults by looking to Europe.  Also, collectors will note that different regions have different age curves with respect to desirable flavor qualities...
