Over the years though, a lot of people have come to the radical conclusion that you can literally drink whatever you want with whatever food you are eating. The old school Chefs will say that's wrong - but I think this is more about personal taste rather than textbook rules.

I’m a Chef, so I firmly believe that every wine has a specific mean that you should eat with it. In school we always learned that with meats like steak and duck you should drink red wine. And with chicken and fish you should drink white wine. Over the years though, a lot of people have come to the radical conclusion that you can literally drink whatever you want with whatever food you are eating. The old school Chefs will say that’s wrong – but I think this is more about personal taste rather than textbook rules.

When it comes to food and wine pairing there are obviously going to be things that are going to taste better with red than white. This isn’t me following guidelines, this is just me being honest! For instance, with a nice medium rare steak – to me, red just tastes better with it. Or when it comes to cheese (specific ones), like Stilton – I think red wine is superb. Here are a few more additions you may want to try out:

Salmon Poached – Bordeaux (White), Burgundy (White), Pinot Noir
Sardines – Sancerre, Vinho Verde
Lobster – Burgundy (White)
Mussels – Chardonnay, Muscadet
Roast – Pinot Noir (Red), Pinot Noir (Red),
Barbequed Pork Spareribs – Riesling (White), Tempranillo (Red)
Veal Parmigana – Chianti
Venison – Cabernet Sauvignon, German Riesling Auslese, Super Tuscan.
Lamb Chops & Lamb Shanks – Cabernet Sauvignon
Flank – French Red
Beef Teriyaki – Red Zinfandel
Mozzarella, Jarlsberg, Kasseri: Light reds. Recommendation: Pinot Nero, or Beaujolais Nouveau
Brie, Mild Cheddar, Chevre, Colby, Gouda etc: Champagne goes excellent with these choices!

Then again, I guess this still depends on the taster of the food now doesn’t it! Wines have always been a popular thing to drink, all the way back to 6000 BC. In fact, besides beer, wines are one of the most popular and the oldest beverages in the world! When it comes to any wine, the maceration process is actually really interesting. One of the coolest things I can suggest if you want to know more about the wine process, wine and food pairings or wine tasting is to check online at the various blogs available to us.

You really can learn SO much about wine that I couldn’t possible fit into this article! Our wine class in Culinary School was a month and a half long and we hardly scratched the surface of what was out there, different types of wines made, pairings of different foods, etc. You also might find tips and tricks on how to pick the perfect red wine, and some of the best brands of red wines available out there. No two wines are created equally!

So if you really want to learn all you can, these blogs are always going to be posting new information and you can always come back and read it again and again and again. The blog poster will more than likely include a new blog every single day, which is exactly the type of blog you want to find. Remember, this is about you learning all you can about food and wine pairing and wines so you really want to make sure you are immersing yourself into whatever information you can!
