Food With Wine



It is very important to select the best matched food with any wine; a wrong choice of food can spoil all the fun and taste of a very good wine. Generally, it is conventional that white wine should be drunk with white meat and red wine with red meat. But nowadays, no one just has meat or chips with wine.

As the wine producing regions have increased in number, the taste and flavours of wine have also changed. This increases the confusion more, as wine lovers can't choose the supplementary food items with wine easily. Some wine lovers believe that any food can go with any wine, but basically we don't eat any heavy meat item with white wine.


A good combination of wine and food enhances your fun and excitement more than any normal combination. Some example of good combinations of wine and food are given below:
Stilton with port, foie gras with sauternes, boeuf bourguignon with Burgundian pinot noir and goat cheese with sauvignon Blanc.


Before experimenting any new combination one should always consider the flavour factor. This is the only thing that can double your fun or even can spoil all the fun. Another aspect is the acidity; food with less acidity should be preferred most. Acidic wine can be found in those areas where the acidic food is prepared. It is very safe to have the local food with the same region's wine. But there are many regions where foreign wines are sold; food selection is a big problem there.

Salty dishes work well with acidic wine. Sparkling wines like Californian wines or French champagne can be used to refresh the taste of fish dishes. Bubbly wines are used to drink with spicy food. Food from South East Asia (like Thai) is filled with chilly and pepper. These food items are compiled with citrus acid, so wines with acidic taste are with some flavour of sweetness. Wines with lots of fruit are mostly prescribed for this kind of food.

Game birds such as quail, turkey, guinea have earthy taste which is more tasteful than chicken. These are more preferable with white wine, while the red wines should be taken with wild game birds.

What are the best parking methods for frequent annual pass members?

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:15:01 PDT
Having been an annual pass holder for a short time, I’m trying to figure out the best way to park, enjoy shopping, dining and theme parks. I have 4 methods so far... and they are as follows: 1. On a short trip for three hours or under… Valet park in Downtown Disney and take the monorail in. When done with park, take the monorail back, stop for dinner or a coffee, validate ticket and pick up car from Valet. Quick, easy and no hassle but not cost efficient unless you like to spoil yourself.

Labor Day Wine Adventure

We decided to visit several local wineries on Monday. I knew for sure that Kinkead Ridge and Harmony Hill were open on Monday. I made the assumption that other wineries were as well, but I should have double-checked. We had two reasons for visiting the wineries: we need to collect a case of local wines to ship to California for the Wine Bloggers Conference this fall and, well, we just really enjoy our time with these winemakers. We started our day out in Ripley, OH, in the Kinkead Ridge tasti
